![]() 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 ![]()
