[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1548302, member: 24160"] Don't read that thread then. Seriously - while I like WD drives, I wouldn't let any of their drive "management" software touch one my machines under any operating system. It's been problematic for years and years - nothing new there. Just bought 2 WD drives this past weekend - first thing I did was delete their software package. You can't blame the failure of a piece of software on the OS. It is not the OS developers responsibility to make sure that the millions of pieces of software that have been put out over the last 30 years works with their OS. It is the software developers job to make sure their software plays nice with the OS. While I personally wouldn't touch it, I am not convinced the issue is the WD software and not user error.
