Hi guys,
File Insight is reporting high disk read activity on wddmstatus.exe, which is installed with along with WDSmartWare (for use with my WD My Book Essential external hard drive). I know wddmstatus.exe is checking the status of my drive, but 653,629 MB seems like a lot of reading just to check the status of a drive.
Other than this reporting, I am not experiencing problems with the software (I don't schedule backups, I do them manually) so I'm wondering if I should leave as is. I didn't actually want the software installed in the first place as it takes up too much memory, but WD advised this could affect normal operation of the drive (hmm) so I left it installed.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Jen
