FAQs
Which drives does it work with?
It supports many WD external drives, including My Book, My Passport and easystore models. Some older models and some SSD models are not supported, so check your exact model first.
Does the erase tool delete everything?
Yes. Drive Erase permanently removes all data on the drive. Back up anything you need to another drive before you use it.
Can it repair a failing drive?
No. The tests only diagnose the drive. If a test fails, the vendor advises replacing the drive, so copy your files off it as soon as you can.
