The fingerprint only switched the USB connection on; nothing on the card was encrypted.

    Wait wait - is it also advertised as a 1TB card that’s configured to show 1TB of space when you plug it in, but then it’s really just a 4GB card?

    clearly a feature for when the sd card fails. think of how easy it will be to replace.
