WD does it again - Poor software performance

I bought this for a backup drive. When delivered, my 8-year-old laptop saw a floppy disk drive. The WD drive link to download WD Discovery does not work. It has been reported several times that we are having connection problems, please try again. After the third try, I downloaded the program from their website. My drive could not be displayed. Wanted me to backup to Dropbox. I uninstalled and reinstalled all WD programs. Same result. I gave up a used Windows 10 backup. Worked fine, found SSD with no problems. I bought it because it's solid state. The drive works like an external hard drive. WD software and support is a big disappointment. (I think it's better than "stupid") And the cable is only 6 inches long, which isn't great for a desktop. Revain delivered on time as promised. Buyers be careful.
