Western Digital’s documentation is very explicit that it, Western Digital, knows nothing about Linux. It only mentions that there may exist “generic” drivers. Not aware of that problem – it is not mentioned on the box – I bought a WD “My Passport” external hard disk. I plugged it into my computer running Ubuntu Linux and immediately saw that Linux could read and write the disk. So I would not have to reformat the disk, as do the poor Mac users. The only question was to find appropriate, reliable…
enough is enough, you need to support other OSes, period, data is data. I am done with your company until you start supporting LINUX.
How did you do with the authenticator software that comes with the “My Passport” Studio HD? Indeed, it read my HD from Fedora too, but I can see only the small partition where the authenticador software resides.
