![]() The annoyance comes from the fact that you must reload/reinstall this driver every time. In addition, I would not recommend this drive to someone who truly wants to use it as a "portable" drive (ie plug n play between lots of computers) due to the fact that for the drive to run a t full-speed you must load a special driver onto every machine. That said, I've been able to get around 100MB/sec and a max of 320MB/sec with 3.0, thus my belief that WD intended consumers to use 3.0 with this drive. The 2.0 speeds float around 10MB/sec (despite the fact that 2.0 can handle up to 50MB/sec). For some reason, Western Digital seems to have designed this drive only to be used with USB 3.0. However, that is not to say its always slow. ![]() I'm not sure what the spindle speed is, but I would guess it's probably only 5400rpm. To my surprise, the drive is actually kinda slow. I bought this drive to serve as backup for two computers, and for the use of USB 3.0. Super fast with USB 3.0, but the software impedes the ease of use
