Yep, I have same problem too.
Bought My Passport because the marketing made it sound wonderful and would solve all my problems. I loved the idea of never having to remember to back up my files - it would all be done for me.
However… I had to remove the WD SmartWare Software as my computer was taking forever to to do anything! The task manager quoted around 80 per cent of my cpu was tied up with the software. In the end I removed the software and currently use the drive as an ordinary plug in and manually back up drive!
Completely defeats the purpose of why I chose to buy it in the first place! I feel like I’ve been totally ripped off. I won’t recommend it to anyone and will replace it as soon as I can afford to (it gets on my nerves when it asks to install the software again every time I plug it in).
