It costs the same as the one without software, so that software has to be an insignificant, minuscule bonus that can’t surpass the functionally that I ALREADY have on my computer (Windows Backup/Time Machine). So what did you ever expect? Don’t you guys know that your computers ALREADY have the ability to do automatic backups on its own? It’s even REDUNDANT of WD to even provide Smartware at all… But no, people in here have been gun-pointed to want to use Smartware like their lives depend on it It is actually FREE proprietary bundled software because WD drives that come WITH Smartware (MyBook Essential) cost exactly the same as drives WITHOUT Smartware (MyBook 3.0 and MyBook AV), just so you know…Īs long as they don’t add the difference in price to drives that come with Smartware, then Smartware remains as TRULY free software since there is no price difference, go to a WD retailer and see for yourself. Sorry WD… but this is not the way to treat old customers that think you are a big and responsable company. Nothing of the post of honored contributors, or apologies of moderators could help angry costumers. THIS CAN BE A SOLUTION (it is really only a patch, try and avoid). I can mantain password access, without any hog (running WD Smartware in startup). The PATCH i managed to get this work, is to disable WDFMEService and WDRulesService…
I can not disable anoying ram and disk hog, or disk caching, dispite i DO NOT use (ever!!!) the poor “free” backup software included… It must work or, as WARRANTY the company must have to make it work (as is not a third party soft).ĭispite of this, i never use the backup software of WD, but i have installed it because of the security access (password), and it’s functionallity. Sorry… this is not FREE software… this is PROPIETARY SOFTWARE BUNDLED WITH A PRODUCT I BUY!!!
