There are many portable hard drives available for home use that requires USB connectivity.  Though USB connectivity is ideal for data transmissions, developing a portable hard drives that also provide wireless connectivity would help for homes with many desktop/laptop/Mac/IPAD devices to share the wireless enabled portable hard drive as a shared drive over the home network much as wireless printers do and facilitate sharing of music, photo and video files easily. 

Please feel free to post your opinions on this idea.

Dear WD:

How about creating a Thunderbolt-enabled external hard disk drive for the Mac? If it had USB 3.0 that would also be nice. Thx for your great products!

Hey guys,

my external WD My Passport Essential SE hard disk drive doesn't get a realistic icon as it's supposed to do.

A problem on my end can be excluded, because WD already confirmed that there's currently no realistic icon for _any_ WD drive available.

Please vote for this idea, if you agree that it's nice to have and that WD should submit such icons to Microsoft for proper display within the Device & Printers section of Windows 7 or later.

Thanks in advance,

 Martin

I Just bought myself an ASUS Transformer tablet, running Android, and although it will recognise the drive when I plug in via USB, I can't access the encrypted partition.
