Why are we even messing with anything other than WD these days?

[QUOTE="ebocious, post: 821299, member: 75834"] WD is garbage. Updates are infrequent, and its protection results are actually not that great. I might [I]possibly[/I] forgive the fact that they have the highest rate of FPs out of all the major vendors, if they had the best protection to go with it. But they don't. Perhaps the reason why they have so many FPs is because they're trying to compensate for the slow updates by overdoing the heuristics. And as [USER=51905]Evjl's Rain[/USER] pointed out, it really is heavy on disk read/write, and apps and files take forever to open. That's why everyone doesn't just run WD and be done with it.
