    Didn't fall in love

    I did not fall in love with this product. There really are not enough options to secure the drive. It would be really nice if it could be locked and unlocked on demand without removing "ejecting" it from the computer. I'd like to see an update with options like an auto lock if my computer goes to sleep or even just a lock command if I'm done working on it but still want to work on other things on my PC.

      Hi JenniferS, We are sorry for the inconvenience. Unfortunately, our security software does not work that way. The drive needs to be ejected for it to ask for password again if it is already unlocked on the computer. The drive may get ejected when computer goes to sleep but you need to unplug and reconnect the drive to be able to enter the password and unlock the drive. However, we will share your feedback with the relevant team so that they can look into it and come up with such a feature in the future. WDConnections
