Talk:Comparison of encrypted external drives

Needs Update
This is a wonderful chart but it is a bit out of date. I would update it but I am not an expert and would just pull the info off Amazon.

Specifically USB 3.0 and max drive size - This comment was added in 2015

Revert of 22 November 22
Banned user Ken.higgins111 made edits to this page, which were then reverted by BangJan1999. Is there anything useful in those edits that should be kept?? Newystats (talk) 03:25, 2 March 2023 (UTC)


 * :User:Ken.higgins111 added https://www.securedrive.com/product/secureusb-duo-encrypted-flash-drive and similar which seems to be correct to me, however those edits were reverted by.
 * According to Geizhals there are hardly any offers in Europe: https://geizhals.eu/clevx-securedata-securedrive-kp-ssd-v86690.html therefore I would keep it as it is, except someone re-adds them.

Scope of the page
What is the scope of the page? — Johannes  Kalliauer  - contrib. 22:27, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Should it list historical drives or only currently sold ones?
 * I'm really sorry for taking so long to respond to you. I am not well-versed in this topic but I see no reason why the article should be about historical encrypted drives only; it should definitely feature new models as long as they can be reliably sourced. I only stopped by this page to make my routine grammar edits. Thanks for your helpful contributions back in May. Please add more when you find the time. - Hunan201p (talk) 19:41, 7 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Sorry for writing unclear: The question is if we should delete drives that are not sold any more. If you want to buy an encrypted drive you buy a currenlty sold one with USB3.x . Historical drives might be usefull for showing the progress and maybe they are bought back in those days and still used for relevant governmental issues.  — Johannes  Kalliauer  - contrib. 03:56, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see. Thanks for that. In hindsight, you were clear enough. I should have read your comment more carefully. Well, I don't know if we should delete the older drives or just organize them in to sections based on decade/obsolescence. I'd be happy to help you with the latter if that's something you'd be interested in. Otherwise, I'm not going to protest if you take the deletionist route. Hope you have a great day. - Hunan201p (talk) 08:48, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
