Abstract
A data storage device comprising a data port, configured to transceive data via a wired communication channel, a control port, configured to transceive data via a peer-to-peer wireless communication channel, a non-volatile storage medium, and a controller. In response to receiving, from a user device, via the control port, a command to enable control channel access, the controller performs an unlocking process, and, in response to completing the unlocking process, transitions from a locked state to a control channel access state. In response to being in the control channel access state, and in response to receiving, from the user device, via the control port, a write command, the controller stores write data in the storage medium, and, in response to receiving, from a host computer, via the data port, a command to access the storage medium, the controller transmits, to the host computer, a locked state indication.
