Password protect WD Elements

Hi - how would I go about password protecting my WD Elements portable hard drive. The on-board security software appears not to support the WD Elements. Thanks

Hello,

That’s correct, The WD Security application does not come with the WD Elements.

You will need to user a third party app to set a security on the drive.

Thanks for the reply. Any suggestions on a 3rd party app?
