[QUOTE="Rambaud, post: 985169, member: 20783"] I use an external drive while my macbook is being backed up. It runs fast enough. Although I had no clicking issues with WD internal hard drive, the Load Cycle Count (LCC) was above 550,000! However, I have disabled the Sudden Motion Sensor (which, apparently, can interfere with WD's own on certain drives) and changed the parameters for head parking. This has reduced the LCC to about 10 per day. [/QUOTE]
