I just upgraded to the new SmartWare and even though I don’t use the backup features, I do use the QuickView program.
Specifically I use it to safely dismount a WD Passport that I use. Previously, when QuickView did the “safely remove” action, the Passport also powered down. Now it still does the safely remove part, but the Passport continues to run. Is this a new feature of the software or a bug of some sort?
Not a big deal, but I hate it when a desired behaviour changes…
When I use the “safely remove” option from the QuickView menu, I do get the pop-up message that the drive can be disconnected. But with the old software, I could hear the drive spin down and the PC would beep indicating a USB device being removed. Since the update, I don’t get the USB disconnect beep and I can hear the drive still spinning. I don’t believe the access light blinks, though.
