Do you have it plugged into a USB 2.0 port?
I deleted the partitions/drive letters so Windows wouldn't try maintaining access to the drive. This allows HD Sentinel to lock the drive for its use.

YMMV but I was able to pickup the $160 NESN in store, price matched to $130 since "8TB WD Easystore" is in their black Friday printed add for $130 and it was the only model they had.

All these people worrying about the 3.3v 'issue'.. just buy a $5 molex to sata adapter if you're not savvy enough to use electrical tape. Simple fix either way.

Yes, newer quality PSUs shouldn’t have any problem with it. If you have an older PSU just fit a piece of tape over pins 1-3 of the hdd. Just doing that worked for me since I’ve got an older Seasonic.
