[QUOTE="ecnezie, post: 1724924, member: 380757"] I first plug it in straight out of the box, and happened one time. Then erase it clean thinking the same and... happened again :) I have an older WD drive that I use for backup, I think is the reason why I had istances of their smart software in. Luckily it happened on the new empty and not on other ones with sensible data in. I now deleted all the ones I found, and testing the HD to see if it does again, still not sure if bringing it back since it seem "innocent" and working good now. I have still few days. I hope to have deleted all of them, searching through seem all clean. Thanks for your replies! [/QUOTE]
