    Used as storage for game

    Started to run some of my other games to kill time when main one was down. I have a tiny SSD on my gaming rig and didn't feel like going thru getting a bigger one. I can run games off of this with no issues at all. Might be a little slow at loading but I'm spoiled from my SSD. It's also tiny, my daughter took my old one and that needed its own power supply and was a brick.

    Price was good for 1TB

    On sale - the price for 1 TB is great. I kept running out of space with my old drove which was much smaller. I didn't have any problems connecting this to a Windows 7 desktop. But the backup software won't seem to run on a schedule - it always says last backup was "missed" when I check it. I can run the backup manually just fine - however I wanted to set and forget. I don't know if it can't wake the computer from sleep or what. But seriously - who leaves a desktop running 24 by 7 without letting it sleep? I have gone into device manager and ensured the USB device adapter settings for power management are unchecked. I don't know what else to do - may be try the native Windows 7 backup instead of the WD backup software that came with it?
