Front Lights Different on My Book Essentials on Different Computers

Hi.

My wife and I each have the same exact computer.

When the My Book is attached to my computer, one of the front white bars is lit.

When the My Book is attached to her computer, all four of the front white bars is lit.

What’s up with that?

Hello,

Do you have WD Smartware installed on both computers? If so, what version?
