Software Update - WD SmartWare Version 1.5.4.5 for Windows (3/20/12)

I was hoping that the new update to SmartWare would provide some relief from the CPU resource hogging.

Alas, it is still a disaster.

The software takes an eternity to update the catalogues and the metadata.

I gave it over 3 hours to settle down after performing a category backup, but no luck, it just contined to use up to 80% of CPU.

I have had to turn off the service to regain normal operation of my PC

(Windows 7 64 bit 4 GB ram)
