After the WD software nagged me for several hours I too updated the firmware.
Now the drive appears to be bricked. The little power light is on all the time and I can feel the drive running. Yet when I plug in the USB cable, nothing happens. I don’t get any drives appear, I don’t get prompted for the drive password and I don’t see the security light or capacity lights appear on the drive.
Looks like I’ll be asking for refund !!!
DO NOT UPGRADE TO THE LASTEST FIRMWARE !!!
