Question about WD My Passport

Does encryption via WD Security have an advantage over BitLocker? Is the system reliable and can the disk also be used on different computers if it is encrypted?

Unfortunately, I can't tell you the exact differences. I would recommend BitLocker, because it is a professional solution, and WD Security for the normal end user. The only advantage I see with WD Scurity is if you also want to use the hard drive for Macs. Otherwise, as long as you have the "key", you can use the hard drive on different computers.
