[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 804662"] Just playing devil's advocate here, but TBH I really don't notice it all either. If anything some things I've noticed from trying 3rd parties and going back to WD is that Windows boots and loads faster, programs open faster and web browsing is faster. To be clear, I am in no way saying that it doesn't slow things down and that it's all made up, its really there. I just think that it depends, that it can be different from person to person and system to system. For example, I don't have very many files on my computer, they are either stored in the cloud or on and external device that is disconnected. I also don't have a folder with 1000 exe's in it either, nor do I install and uninstall programs very often. Quite frankly if you want to look at the "tests," where does WD score poorly? Installing/uninstalling programs and sometimes file transfers. Other than that, the rest of the test(s) show it to be just as good if not better than some third parties, if your going by the tests. I do think MS does need to change the way is scans as well as introduce some sort of caching, doing those alone would fix those problems and WD would be very snappy.:)(y) [/QUOTE]
