Write-Protect Switch: clear LED modes for data safety

The SSD2GO PKT MK3 includes a Write-Protect-Switch with a built-in LED that indicates the switch status. The three modes give immediate visual feedback so you can manage data safety quickly on set.

• White LED: Shows the SSD is connected to the host and the Write-Protect function is not engaged (normal read/write mode).
• Orange LED: Signals the Write-Protect function is engaged and the SSD is in Read-Only mode to prevent changes.
• Flashing LED: Indicates that data transfer is currently in progress.

Note: Always activate or deactivate the switch when the SSD is safely ejected and disconnected from the host (for example, a computer). Switching while the SSD is operating will not engage the Write-Protect function.
