Wd 1tb desktop elements drive

I called WD Tech Support to ask them how to password protect my Elements external drive

They told me it cannot be done

Is this for real???

I have two of them & I want them secured but according to WD Tech Support this is impossible

I can’t believe that

Welcome suggestions

Elements is a simple plug and play drive it does not have password or encryption.

it does not come with software for that

you can use the windows security option or another security application

Truecrypt should work for you
