Mavericks + Western Digital externals = Uh-oh...

Apple working with WD on OS X Mavericks data loss disaster | Computerworld Blogs

Western Digital (WD) has confirmed it is working with Apple [AAPL] to address a OS X Mavericks-related bug that's wiping out data stored on some external drives, telling me that: "the occurrence rate of this event has been very low"

WD has already warned customers that in some cases people who have WD software (WD Drive Manager, WD Raid Manager and/or WD SmartWare) installed on a Mac upgraded to OS X Mavericks can lose the data they have stored on their external drive.



The good news, according to the company, is that (in most cases): "Should this occur, the data on the product can likely be recovered with a third party software utility if the customer stops using the device immediately after the OS X Mavericks upgrade."
