So a while ago I bought a fancy Western Digital My Book Studio external hard drive. Not only does this hard drive have every connection bus you could want it also came with a 5-year warranty which is pretty good. This premium product designed for use with Mac's should be awesome, right?

Not so.

You see it always manages to piss me off almost every day as it does one of two things regularly. It either goes into its own deep-sleep and dismounts, requiring a power cycle to get it going again; or it decides it's time to stop responding and when either me or my Mac decides it wants to check out the drives contents I get slapped with the finder or whatever app locking up until I disconnect the power to it and Mac OS warns me that I shouldn't disconnect a drive before ejecting it. Silly me.

It annoys me now.
