    Nice unit. Unable to get preloaded new WD security software to run. If this is a deal make or break(er) for you, don't buy. This is not a huge deal for me, but not being able to use a password to lock your drive is a big deal to some. If it was more important, I would have returned it, and looked for a different product.
