Disabling power management on WD My Passport USB HDD
I've read a number of posts that discouraged the use of Western Digital external USB HDDs because their power management functionality would interfere with backup or other time-intensive file transfer...

It appears not for the older WD devices. I have now trawled the WD community forum - and they came in for a lot of stick for this problem on the earlier devices where the 'powersave' is fixed 'feature' that cannot be configured.
