In my case it did and that is why I posted - in case it might help anyone else. Again, I went through every possible fix and switch the WD tech could come up with. I hadn’t had to screw around so much, for so few results, in many years. I lterally had given up.

 

“Did you update to the latest smartware?”

 

Umm, yeah that was like the second thing I did - of many, many things. There was no change.
