Do yourself a favor and don't buy one if you care about your storage device being secured. THIS DEVICE HAS NO SECURITY AT ALL! This is a huge dissapointment from WD, a company I have come to trust until now. I have been using WD storage drives since 2010. I love the ability to password protect the drives I purchase from them. I opened the package on this one today in order to set it up for a secure backup and couldn't get the security software that comes with all WD drives to work. I updated the apps/software as instructed but still couldn't set a password to secure the drive. After contacting WD via phone I was told they would send me instructions for fixing the problem via email. Instead they sent me an email stating that their password security doesn't work on this drive. I am now stuck with a very expensive SSD drive custom designed "for travel" with NO ability to set even a basic password for data protection. After nearly ten years as a loyal WD customer, I am now done with all WD products. Best buy won't take returns on this item either. I don't blame Best Buy since the device was purchased in December with plans for use for travel in June. The device is also now opened so Best Buy can't be expected to eat the cost. I do hope Best Buy will note on their web page that this is not a securable device so they don't unwittingly support misleading advertising of this faulty product. This is a quote from the email WD sent me today. "I understand that you are facing issue while using the WD Security with My Passport Go SSD. I apologize for the incorrect information over the call. Please allow us to inform you that My Passport Go SSD is not compatible with WD Security application and will not work with this application. " They then told me to reply to the email with questions or to call the same number that gave me incorrect information before. I say again. DON'T Buy if you want the password protected security that previous WD storage devices came with. This device is not securable.
