| | LOL to waiting because something better is round the corner. Makes sense - specially with usb 3 arriving. Interesting to see Paragon made the align software for those using legacy o/s or cloning to a WD HD. |

| | I will say, I was pretty disappointed to see that the WD 1.5TB drive I bought a few weeks ago only had 1.36GB usable. I will welcome and await this when it comes time for another. On a side note, WD needs to get their head out of their (you know what) and stop making that BS crapware unremovable. I bought a 320GB external HD for transporting files and close to 500MB is wasted due to that crap... |

I bought a 320GB external HD for transporting files and close to 500MB is wasted due to that crap... first thing i do is reformat to ntfs (well first i compress and backup that junk just in case it proves useful down the road(which is why i seem to need 2 2TB drives now...  )) and poof problems gone |

| | My bad. Yes, I did mean 1.36TB! I reformatted (though it was already NTFS) and that's the best I got. Oh well, I'd rather have my data spread out on multiple drives anyway (even though I have backups of EVERYTHING). |

| | Hello, and YaY! for WD; I find reasons to replace other brands when possible. My Win 7 machine has two SATA and one USB WD drive. |
