Or is there something I am missing and the WD Software, Etc really can do something I cannot do without it? My initial thought is Why would I need any of that WD Software when I can do all of that stuff without it? I am hesitant installing another potential source of problems if I don’t really need the software. I can install all of it or just certain parts of it. Would there be any benefit of installing the WD Software and / or the WD Backup, Security, Drive Utilities,
