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

[QUOTE="ncage, post: 821354, member: 62363"] Usually when i have seen the high cpu / high disk usage it hasn't been WD instead it has been "[B]Microsoft[/B] Compatibility [B]Telemetry". I hate it to because even if you lower [/B]telemetry[B] to the lowest levels i've never been able to lessen its impact.[/B] And caching can lead to other problems like memory usage. I mean i would assume we are only caching hashes but it how long would the cache expiration policy be? Also like you said when does AV need to rescan a file? As you said security could be lessoned. A file scanned 5 minutes ago could now be identified as malware. When you say BB i assume you mean Block at first sight? If not i wasn't aware that WD had any local BB functionality. Any way to tweak this? If so which setting? [/QUOTE]
