It's different than my other WD EHD... but it's cheaper. Any reason it wouldn't work?

Do y'all just leave your EHD plugged in at all times and connected to your hopper at all times ?

I am using the WD EHD noted here and it works. The cable design is USB 3.0, so the EHD connection is different than the usual USB 2.0 types. The end of the cable that goes to the satellite receiver is compatible with USB 2.0 and this EHD is USB 2.0 compatible.
