Drive came back with no bad sectors after a full drive scan using WD's Disk Diagnostic tool. Overall Review: - Only time will tell how reliable this little external enclosure and the drive inside is. This doesn't seem to have any indicator LED. There are no indicator LED lights to inform the user if the drive is in use or on.

This is Western Digital quality, so the drive should be reliable.Д¬ons: - This thing DOES have mandatory hardware encryption on the enclosure PCB.
