The heating/cooling cycle probably won't do much for the long term reliability
of a drive though most modern drives have power saving features which spin down
the drive when it's not in regular use. Who knows for sure ?

I wouldn't trust any drive for 3 minutes never mind 3 years, if it's important
multiple backups are the only way, also I am not convinced switching off helps
prolong the life of the drive but it may help the polar bears.
John, you will enjoy the new Imac, but you could have still used the old one,
booting from an external SSD
IanW - just finished the last assesment on my digital forensics - studying gets
tougher as one gets older but I suppose that's why it must be done
