Encryption And Password Management

This has a strong barrier to protect the contents within (XTS-AES Encryption). I wanted this because I've lost too many files lately when electronics went bad. I should have had them on one of these and I didn't. I regret that. I always use up my free cloud storage and I don't always want those personal items on a cloud. This is the answer. Setup is easy. When it is plugged into a Windows machine or IMac , the software is available and can be used to set up the drive with a password. That's pretty straightforward. If you forget your password or enter it incorrectly (10 attempts), you can wipe the drive and start over but you cannot recover your data. So, choose your password wisely :).

Works like a champ. I especially like the encryption feature.

Even better than the evo with opal encryption! love love love!

Works great and the only thing I had to set up was the option to have a password to protect it if someone else tries to use it.

Easy setup. Easy to change WiFi name and password. Easy to use the app.

If you lose the spotlight password, the instructions do not tell you how to reset the password

The best ever cord management fitting.

Cable management made easy.

The capacity and cost allow me to back up my data with passwords and encryption. A must for any busy person. Excellent features and price. Would not work without it.

After a bit of figuring out (and an agonizingly long initial transfer & encryption process) the drive now hums along smoothly, doing its thing and the Time Machine feature seems to be working. Seems like a good value and after getting my bacon saved by an older drive, I would say this is one of the handiest and most economical of a total must-have accessory.
