    I own a couple WD portable drives that are great AND that I can encrypt. Bought this one only to find it doesn't come with the ability to encrypt. I contacted WD directly and was told "I would like to inform you that EasyStore & WD Elements drives do not support password protection using WD Discovery or WD Security, unlike My Passport or My Book drives...However, you can use any third-party drive encryption software to password protect your drive." Buy a different WD drive. This one is only sold at Best Buy.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
