Hi @Melis,

Please be informed that Western Digital neither covers Data Recovery under its warranty policy nor has any in-house data recovery service. But it does provide approval for the data recovery from any alternate 3rd party options.

For a detailed list of which WD external drives support encryption, and if data recovery is possible, please check the below link.
