DROPPED WD MY PASSPORT BEEPING INSTALL

It should turn on only when the user chooses to install the encryption through the security software, else it is useless and offers no protection. But the hardware encryption should be off by default. I guess the lesson learned from this is to have a well thought-out backup scheme, with critical data backed up to several locations.ДЄgreed. None of this is critical or sensitive data, and exists on other drives inside my computers, so if the drive failed, I wouldn't have the need to go to a data recovery company, but for some users, they may have critical data on the external drive. I use my WD My Passport to back up Pro Tools sessions, Acronis True Image drive image backups for my various operating systems, mp3 files, etc. I read the link you posted, and the article makes some good arguments for SED's, IF, the user wants encrypted data, but I think it should be up to the user to decide. ДЄre you able to give me a hint what could be the cause of the problem ? ses 6: 0: 0: 1: Attached Enclosure device scsi 6: 0: 0: 1: Failed to bind enclosure -19 scsi 6: 0: 0: 1: Failed to get diagnostic page 0x8000002
