This program will help you maintain a current and secure Western Digital Hard disk. There is no isolated device support in WD Universal Firmware Updater Download For Windows. The most widely used devices are ones like My Book and My Passport. However, WD Universal Firmware Updater will reveal the whole roster of compatible hardware.

Using this tool, you can fix the problem where Windows 10 (or an earlier version) would stop reporting faults after a predetermined length of time had passed. It also fixes an issue where an operating system installation failed on a specific hard disk while using Windows 7 or an earlier version of Windows.

Several devices from the My Book and My passport series are compatible with the program. Check the official download page for the most up-to-date list of compatible devices to determine if your hard drive is one among them.
