WD My Book Elite 1TB - unboxing, connecting, SmartWare software

Unboxing and connecting my new drive. On the drive itself, there is a virtual CD-ROM drive that contains new SmartWare software. You can set the label with it, encrypt the content of the drive etc. Watch the video.

Very nice unboxing. Was hoping it didnt need its own power adapter though.

I have seen WD site that essential edition(with LCD display) can only with MAC, not PC. The PC version has no LCD display.

Awesome drive really, WD Smartware is also very nice. But it only saves Music, Docs, Vids etc. I wanted to save my entire OS C: drive installed programs, and D: drive including huge install files. I'd hate to ignore WD Smartware but I might have to
