Dear WD,

 

Please provide a software update to enable WD Drive Manager to support the eSATA interface so the LED light activity for RAID degraded mode is guaranteed.

 

We are disappointed this isn't supported as we prefer the faster data transfer of the eSATA over USB. We are using this in a mirrored RAID mode for redundancy for critical research data and would like to rely on the LED light indicators. Switching to USB temporarily to monitor this is not an ideal situation for our busy researchers.

 

One more suggestion is to change the power plug to standard so it doesn't take up extra space on a surge protector.

 

Nay thanks,

Jill
