    I'm not sure if my lack of knowledge whether the WD - My Book USB 3.0 only port is responsible for the painfully slow transfer between external hard-drives or the lack of connectors on an 2008 Apple Mac MacBook Pro (Evil empire of computers) requiring a HUB hookup. I was limited to USB 3.0- slow. The exterior case lacks a "Light" indicator showing drive activity. It's difficult to assert when it's safe to eject. the drive.

    Really like the TV but picture quality doesn't seem to be as good as it looked in the store. The color just isn't as sharp. Hard to explain but color just isn't right.
