I was so sad and disappointed with the WD brand. I couldn't believe it. How could they develop this software. After reading all the comments I realized that in order to have the freedom to use my own backup method I had to use my own software. All lit capacities, automatic permanent backups and password protection, and 256-bit encryption features are gone with the latest update for WD SmartWare. That leaves the grab-and-go USB docking station with premium-finish features that aren't worth buying again. Switched to the Seagate brand immediately.
