Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I'm not familiar with whatever this Sandisk portable thing is, but SanDisk is a drive manufacturer, in which case it may be drive-level.

Sounds like when it's locked, the drive presents itself as a CD drive containing a Windows executable that unlocks it.

I wouldn't expect Linux to be able to write to it if that's it. It won't even see the actual drive, just the non-writeable CD drive.
Honestly, I'd probably just write off the drive if the data isn't important. The amount of time that's required to basically get a used hard drive is probably not going to be worth it.
