[QUOTE="RadioSaigon, post: 1121467, member: 161927"] I recently purchased a WD MyBook Studio 2TB for use with my MBP. It seems like a good drive and a good fit for the MBP. When initially installing the drive, I opted to password-protect it, given that its intended use is on a laptop. That was a very simple process using the included SmartWare. NB: The device and software [I][U]are not[/U][/I] used for backups -merely external storage. The only problem I have now is that when my MBP sleeps or I remove the drive from the machine and reattach it, I have to go through the whole SmartWare unlock process -find the virtual cd in a Finder, open the "unlock" software, enter the password before the drive itself will mount and become available for use. Simple! I thought... I'll just let 1Password do all the leg-work for me! Yeah, right... I can't find a way to make it happen!!! Is there something simple I'm missing? Has anyone had a similar experience and have a solution to offer, please? [/QUOTE]
