Can I install WD Smartware into old external hard disk?

Hie… Can I install WD Smartware into my old external hard disk (My Passport Essential)?? I have this software in my new external hard disk and I thought it will be great if I could install this in my old ones as well since I can set password to protect my data from others. Could you please advice the steps?? Thanks…

The Smartware is ■■■■ I wouldn’t install it all. Look at all of the problems here. Or go to Amazon.com, Newegg, etc and look at customer reviews of the drives with Smartware. Most are negative.

No, you cannot.  You could download Acronis from our downloads page, under internal hard drives, and see if that works for you.

Right, Joe?
