Similar but different question… I have a WD3200ME My Passport Essential that I got the day after Thanksgiving. I don’t see anything listed on WD’s website concerning it.
I ‘thought’ when I first hooked it up, that it had an option to password protect the drive. I’m certain it did not come with Smartware software on it which is fine. But is there any option for password protecting the drive?
Thanks.
(Update - I did find the drive has another preinstalled program… WD Sync… it does have a place for a password to be entered… however it appears to be a method to password protect the profile I create for sync’ing data to the drive… so I can password protect the profile that tells the drive what files I want copied, but there is no method to protect someone from viewing the files I’ve stored on the drive?)
