I installed this drive this morning and backed up about 100 gigs using Time Machine.
After installing WD Smart Ware it asked me to update the firmware which I did. As it was updating the firmware it froze 3/4 of the way and did not want to continue. I waited for a long long time.
I tried to reboot the computer and now the drive doesn’t want to be recognized by the computer.
it’s firmware problem. like mac. with complete install how can boot the machine?
you no need to update firmware if you don’t have any problem during use it. or you can asking for they update for you when you get the new one. that may more better for you.
