I’ve been having issues a well. I purchased this from Costco 7 days ago an it’s still doing the initial backup (670GB).
A Few things to note:
-
I’m running a Mac OS (Leopard).
-
My router is an Apple Extreme Base Station
-
My network is running over cat 6.
-
I’m running my backup using Time Machine (but I’m willing to change that if that’s the problem).
-
I had a previous WD LIVE (2TB white one) that worked extremely fast but it stopped working altogether, I thought I was safe with another WD but I’m starting to question that.
-
I’ve got the latest firmware
-
it works sporadically i.e. 8GB in 5-10min and then 20kb in the following 2hours .
I really don’t want to return the drive but this is getting stupid.
