WD My Book Duo data forever lost if Drive Enclosure Dies!

Hi,

I’m not familar with the EX2, WD should be able to answer for us though if users have access to the security encryption pass-KEY used to encrypt data on the EX2. Even if the encryption on the EX2 is not ‘always on’ like on the WD My Book Duo (USB), its still possible you will be locked out of your data if the enclosure has any problems if you don’t have the actual “encryption key” used to encrypt the data.

And for example, that popular WD “locker/unlocker” that let’s users lock drives with a password, well that password is not even used for the actual encryption on the WD MyBookDuo. We are not given the actual/real encryption key used.
