I don't know about everything that's out there. I'm mainly trying to
find out if there's something else that I don't know about, other than
USB sticks, optical discs, and sdxc cards.
Maybe the sdxc cards fill your requirements.
Most have a write protect switch.
In my original post, I ruled out sdxc as too slow.
But your post got me taking a second look.
sdxc is too slow, but SD Express is a lot faster. I'm guessing that, to
get the high speeds, it would have to connect directly to the "bus"
rather than through a USB port. And it looks like SD Express is lockable.
Thank-you, Jon.
