Abstract
A method for managing a storage device including identifying a lock timing for the storage device when coupling to a device, transitioning the storage device into a locked state in response to detecting the storage device decoupling from the device, and configuring the storage device to remain in the locked state if the storage device is re-coupled to the device after the lock timing has elapsed.
