Love the use of e-ink

I definitely like the use of e-ink displays and think it's perfect for something like an external drive. Hopefully we see more of this! Though, I suppose this would only make sense for someone who has multiple external drives, cause you can easily get this data by clicking on the drive icon from your computer.

Do you have a WD My Book with a display? Do you find it useful?

Mine still just says "Videos 9." Haven't installed the software because I don't want any /System additions and I can't tell where it will install its files.

Also have tried to use WD's software to remove the Virtual CD partition which doesn't work because their firmware update software that I need to run first doesn't recognize the device when connected via USB as they instruct.

Basically, I've been given no reason to trust their software yet, which is why I'm just using it as a plain jane HD right now.

WD installs the app in /Applications, I don't know about the rest of the files but I guess that goes like any other app in Application Support folders etc. I don't see why not to trust their software?
