Looking For External Disk drive That Works with Acronis

Thread needs solution

Hi I have a WD external disk drive that must have encryption software in it - It has an unlock feature that when you reboot the PC the WD goes dead because now you are not logged in any more. Plus, all my backups are in the partition after you unlock the drive.

Any model numbers or units you would recommend that work well acronis where you know it works on a recovery. Suppose a flash drive would work but would have to be pretty big to recover from. Just looking for models that work to recover from - I have a Lenovo G780 Windows 7 - Thanks

David,

Most external drives that don't require encryption should work. I use standard drives in an external USB case and drives in a removable caddy. Other people have used WD external drive boxes with Acronis products, but probably not the ones with your security features. Can the unlock feature be disabled? I recall some WD Book drives came with their own sync type software that if enabled prevented 3rd party imaging software from being used but if disabled and uninstalled then worked as a standard USB attached drive.
