Abstract

A data storage system including a SSD includes a capability to detect whether its location is acceptable for function, and a capability to self-disable in the event the location of the device is unacceptable, or to self-enable only while the location of the device is acceptable.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A self-disabling, geo-secure data storage system, comprising:
 a solid state drive (SSD);   a system disk interface (SDI) for connection of said solid state drive (SSD) to a host system;   an antenna and satellite lookup and determination system to detect a current location of said self-disabling, geo-secure data storage system; and   a controller to cause said solid state drive (SSD) to disable when said detected current location of said self-disabling, geo-secure data storage system determines that said self-disabling data storage system is currently outside a given permissible geographic area.
