Forgetful power button

The WD 3TB 'My Book' hard disk has, in my view for sophisticated applications one major drawback: The on / off button is not a real switch, which locks on power, but is a 'Toggle' ie. he goes every time back to its original position. Why is this important?

Now, when the mains voltage is once away and come back, forget the record that she was actually turned on and does not go by itself high. You have to manually turn on EVERY TIME.

For the following scenarios, the plate is therefore totally unsuitable:
1. The plate is attached to a router and 'permanently to' be. - If in the house once the power briefly, although the router should boot up, but the record is missing.

2. The board hangs on a switchable power strip and is at the same time all the interconnected pantographs (computers, printers, scanners, etc.) boot: Do not go. You have to drive again turn Extra manually.

2. The board hangs on a remote-controlled socket: also does not work because the plate is the on / off status will not notice and will not boot selbstständing.

Hence my recommendation to the people of WD: Build a resonable On / Off switch, not as a toggle gimmick.
