I’m facing a problem with my device “My Passport Essential SE”. It was working well but problem are PC only able recognized ONE devices when plug in 2 same model devices.

For my opinion, it not so friendly users!!!

B’coz when I want to share files with my friends that using same model. PC was only able recognized ONE of the devices.

With this problem, as customer I not able share anything with anyone that using same model with me!!!

I hope WD able solve this types of problem. So that we able buy more same model WD HDD

This is a common problem and it’s from Windows. The quick fix is to go into Disk Management and give the drive different letters and make sure they are online. Here is an explaination and permanent fix http://community.wdc.com/t5/Other-Externals/Problems-with-having-more-than-one-USB-2-0-WD-2-TB-Elements/td-p/285724
