WD SMARTWARE SOFTWARE USER MANUAL ABOUT THE WD SMARTWARE SOFTWARE – 3 Non-WD Device Support The WD SmartWare Pro software upgrade extends the backup function to: Direct-attached non-WD drives (USB) Unsupported WD devices Supported cloud services Upgrading to the WD SmartWare Pro software requires purchase of an activation code. The WD My Passport is marketed as a plug and play product (no instructions provided and supposedly unnecessary) but it falls short in that regard. Anyone not computer savvy is likely to struggle with this product. The WD Discovery software did not recognize the My Passport drive.

If saved data on my Passport Ultra is transferred to a replacement hard drive (my previous one failed) does this delete this data? Can it be retrieved if it did not completely load? If another save is done on my Passport after the attempt to load this data is it still recoverable? Is there a way to transfer Passport files without deleting them (my Passport saved file folder is empty and there is now a Recovered file with data on it)? I back up weekly via Norton on my Passport, Is it possible that it would only save some of my documents, but not all? The people who replaced my hard drive blame my Passport for the lost data!
