WD passport series hd: i have a tera one and my friend a small mypassport 320gb; either with this fucking udf thing that has to be a firmware thing, providing some backup and crypting stuff, not very useful, not useful at all in linux. debian see it as a udf cd filesystem and optionally mount it accordingly, but i never come up to get rid of it. WD provides a tool on the hd support pages to erase it from windows and macos, but i haven't got any of them so... And procede carefully, googling a bit: i heard of some problems that this tool actually has
