![]() ![]() ![]() He had tripped over the cable, yanking it sideways off the desk, breaking the mini-B USB socket from the enclosure. That aside, I’ve shied away from WD’s MyBook series after a customer brought me a broken MyBook with valuable data he didn’t want to lose. That’s always been my preference, as well. Or should I just install everything even if I may never use it?įor myself I just build my own external drive with an enclosure. Or is there something I am missing and the WD Software, Etc really can do something I cannot do without it? My initial thought is Why would I need any of that WD Software when I can do all of that stuff without it? I am hesitant installing another potential source of problems if I don’t really need the software. I can install all of it or just certain parts of it. Would there be any benefit of installing the WD Software and / or the WD Backup, Security, Drive Utilities, & Quick View Software that is also available. QUESTIONs for those of you who currently use those WD “My Book” External Hard Drives: I will utilize “folders” to separate each separate item & will “rotate” the use of the new drives – so all of the above will be on both drives. I plan on using the 2 new “My Book” 4 TB External Hard Drives for System Images using Macrium Reflect Free and other Backups (Pictures, My Documents, & other items on my Data D Hard Drive). When I converted the use of the 2 “My Book Essential” to my current Dell Precision Tower 5810, I formatted them both which removed the WD Software from the Drives and that WD Software was not on my Tower 5810.ġ of the Drives is used for System Images using recimg and the other drive is used for System Images using File History – so I just did not see any need for the WD Software. The WD Software was installed for both of those drives. I previously used the 2 “My Book Essential” Drives on an older XP Desktop for System Images using the Norton Ghost Ver 10.0 I just acquired 2 of the more current 4 TB “My Book” External Hard Drives. Those are the older version of the more current “My Book” External Hard Drives. I have 2 of the older 2 TB WD “My Book Essential” External Hard Drives. ![]()
