Good Drive, Bad Software! Did you? Yes No. Stuart V. Overall Review: Makes me wonder if firmware is written by the same people Pros: Large Drive Easy Set Up Recognized Software actually practical I dont use it though Cons: Only thing I can complain about is every time it is plugged into a computer mac at least "WD Smart" disk loads up, I noticed if you install their software it goes away, just a quick eject and its gone however a little annoying at times.

German Spanish Italian French. HGST Support. Any idea of what I can do? If I let windows initialize it, will I lose everything inside the drive? Just to update this thread… I ran the WD Data Lifeguard Diagnostic on the desktop and the hard disk passed both the tests. I want to give as much informations as I can to anyone who wants to try to help me with this mess… and so… here you are a screenshot of what HxD found: sector1 is full of beautiful zeros… It should mean that my data are not hardware-encrypted… right?
When plugged into a eSata docking station, sector 1 is full of zeros… so, the sick hard disk, showing only zeros inside sector 1 while plugged into the same docking station obviously, because its bridge board is not working , does not mean anything….

The drive goes to standby automatically when not in use to save power and reduce heat, so it will take a few seconds to get it spun up after a period of inactivity. Also, USB 2.

At times I would like it off while the PC is on. I liked the style of the case -- looks like a book. I liked the automatic power-on and power-off feature -- it is very handy so I don't have to remember to flip a switch every time. I also liked the extra capacity it provide me for my backup procedures.
I rated this good instead of excellent because of the following major annoyance: I did not like the fact that the main menu on the hard drive had an option to "copy" all the trial software to make a backup copy.
I thought this was a good option in case I wanted to try some of it in the future. However, the option was a complete lie. It took me over an hour to uninstall all the stuff. I don't know if I will ever go back and look at the software again with underhand ed tricks like that. This is a great upgrade for the Vista operating system.
