i use a silver seagate freeagent go for time machine and media storage. looks nice with the mbp.
Did you uninstall the Western Digital software? And if so does the e-label still work?
I personally have SmartWare still installed, its just a tiny app sitting on my hard drive that you don't have to use at all, and it doesn't bother me as it doesn't auto-start with the Mac or the HDD.
No. It does auto-start. How would it update the capacity gauge if it wouldn't run in the background?![]()
