    This things rocks but I only wanted to post to help those who might be having issues setting up a password on this or any other WD drive using the WD Discover app. Greetings! I've had issues setting up passwords on all of my WD devices...going on 5 different models over 6+ years ranging from 500GB - 10TB devices. What I learned long ago is that in order to setup the password for the first time for a new drive, you cannot have any other WD devices connected to the computer (whether they are locked or unlocked). I think it is some sort of bug with the WD Discovery app software. You've probably seen on the forums and product manuals that all you should have to do is open the WD Discovery app and click on the drive settings, then there is supposed to be an option to set a password...but only eject is there if multiple drives are plugged in. The Solution = 1. Unplug any WD drives connected to your PC (you may need/want to reboot for the next step to work) 2. Plug in the new drive (still with no other WD drives connected to the PC 3. Install the latest version of the WD Discovery app that comes on the device or simply open it if you have the newest version installed already 4. Then you should see the option to set a password in the drive settings I'm not sure if this is a problem for or if this fix will work on MACs.
