Customer Review

The board is ok, quiet, no vibration. Speed ​​test I can because still missing USB 3.0 interface not verify.
At least 1-2 star deduction with respect to the software "WD SmartWare": This is only suitable for data backups:
1) Driver Installation definitely with / without software necessary
2) Backup: the idea is prinizipiell good to do that is by category backup. Here clearly lacks but the ability to modify even the file extension. It happens quite that of files (such as EXE files) will be made no backup.
3) Further claims the software at boot completely the CPU for about 10min. After reviewing the forums this is confirmed. Pity!

Conclusion: drive in order, software I would not recommend to install only the driver that is necessary.
