I would not exaggerate if i called myself a wd fan

As an external hard drive wd is that way too more below but i found the smartware backup application that comes burned on a solid state drive to be a dubious continuous backup solution at best which had to be removed from my computer

On the back of the drive besides the usb port and the power connector there is a power button not very responsive and a kensignton security slot

The trouble with smartwarethe first time you plug the drive into your computer you will see two new drives popping up the expected 900 gb or so mybook and another smaller drive labelled smartware

Smartware does in fact back up your computers files but in my case the worry free promise did not materialize

The backup was no longer working when i reattached my laptop to its docking station and it could only restart after i rebooted my machine

It was nearimpossible to use my computer while the wd drive was attached and smartware was running

Worse apps were freezing crashing or wouldnt even start and my previously reliable windows 7 machine gave up completely
