Thus, as shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the first substrate 21, the first connector 22 and the second connector 32 can be connected between the transmission port 23 and the second substrate 31, and the first substrate 21, the first connector 22, the second connector 32 and the second substrate 31 can all be disposed in the accommodating space 10, and only a part of the transmission port 23 is exposed, so as to perform data (data) transmission with the electronic device 4 (see fig. 8, for example, but not limited to, a motherboard of a computer).
As shown in fig. 1 to fig. 5, for example, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the first receiving area 101 of the housing 1 may have a fixing portion 121, and the first substrate 21 of the encryption/decryption module 2 may include a first positioning portion 211 corresponding to the fixing portion 121, so that the encryption/decryption module 2 can be mounted on the fixing portion 121 through the first positioning portion 211.

Therefore, the locking member F can be disposed on the first through hole 110, the second through hole 120 and the positioning hole 310 to position the first casing 11, the second casing 12 and the second substrate 31, but the invention is not limited thereto. In other words, in other embodiments, the first through hole 110, the second through hole 120 and the positioning hole 310 may not be provided, and the first casing 11 and the second casing 12 may be combined with each other by using a through hole (not shown) and a locking member (not shown) provided at other positions, or the first casing 11 and the second casing 12 may be combined with each other by fastening, and the combination of the first casing 11 and the second casing 12 is not limited in the present invention.
As described above, referring to fig. 1 to 5, for example, according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the first substrate 21 of the encryption/decryption module 2 may be an encryption/decryption adapter, and the first substrate 21 may have an encryption/decryption unit (or may be an encryption/decryption engine or an encryption/decryption chip) for encrypting/decrypting data. Furthermore, the transmission port 23 of the encryption/decryption module 2 may be a connector conforming to the SATA, mSATA, PCI-E, NVMe, m.2, ZIF, IDE, U.2, CF or CFast specification interface, so as to utilize the transmission port 23 to perform data transmission with the electronic device 4, but the invention is not limited thereto.

In other words, the second substrate 31 of the storage module 3 can be an existing storage unit for storing digital information (information) from the electronic device 4. Further, since the first connector 22 of the encryption/decryption module 2 and the second connector 32 of the storage module 3 are connected to each other, the specification interface of the first connector 22 of the encryption/decryption module 2 may also correspond to the specification interface of the second connector 32 of the storage module 3.
As shown in fig. 1 to fig. 5, for example, the hard disk U with encryption/decryption functions according to the first embodiment of the present invention may be a 2.5-inch hard disk, and therefore, compared to the hard disk architecture in the prior art, the hard disk U with encryption/decryption functions according to the embodiment of the present invention further includes the first connector 22 of the encryption/decryption module 2 and the second connector 32 of the storage module 3. Therefore, the conventional 2.5-inch hard disk case interferes with the first connector 22 and the second connector 32.

Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, the encryption/decryption module 2 can be mounted on the fixing portion 121 through the first positioning portion 211, and the storage module 3 can be mounted on the fixing portion 121 through the second positioning portion 311. Therefore, the fixing portion 121 may have structural features corresponding to the first positioning portion 211 and the second positioning portion 311, so that both the storage module 3 and the encryption/decryption module 2 can be disposed on the fixing portion 121. It should be noted that, the first positioning portion 211 and the fixing portion 121 and the second positioning portion 311 may be fixed by a locking member (not shown), which is not limited in the present invention.
In addition, since the second connector 32 of the storage module 3 can be a connector conforming to the SATA, mSATA, PCI-E, NVMe, m.2, ZIF, IDE, U.2, CF or CFast specification interface, when the storage module 3 is disposed in the first accommodation area 101, the second connector 32 of the storage module 3 can be exposed, and the second connector 32 can be used for data transmission with the electronic device 4. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the encryption/decryption module 2 can be selectively set, so that the hard disk has an encryption/decryption function or does not have the encryption/decryption function. In other words, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the first connector 22 and the second connector 32 are pluggable connectors, so that the encryption/decryption module 2 and the storage module 3 can be connected to or disconnected from each other by the arrangement of the first connector 22 and the second connector 32, and the encryption/decryption module 2 can be selectively arranged in the hard disk.

Next, referring to fig. 14, fig. 14 is a schematic exploded view of a hard disk with only a storage module according to a second embodiment of the present invention. In other embodiments, the encryption/decryption module 2 can be detachably disposed in the first accommodation area 101, so that the encryption/decryption module 2 can be disposed in the first accommodation area 101 or moved out of the first accommodation area 101. When the encryption/decryption module 2 is moved out of the first receiving area 101, the storage module 3 can be disposed in the first receiving area 101 to form a hard disk U' with only storage modules. In other words, when the storage module 3 is disposed in the first receiving area 101, the second connector 32 of the storage module 3 can be exposed, and the second connector 32 can be used for data transmission with the electronic device 4. Therefore, the encryption and decryption module 2 can be selectively arranged, so that the hard disk has the encryption and decryption functions or does not have the encryption and decryption functions.
Furthermore, although the second substrate 31 is illustrated as a solid state Disk in the embodiment of the invention, it should be noted that in other embodiments, the second substrate 31 may also be a 2.5 inch Hard Disk Drive (HDD), and the invention is not limited thereto. Thereby, the 2.5-inch hard disk drive can be packaged in the case 1 of the hard disk U having an encryption/decryption function with a size of 3.5 inches. In other words, the second substrate 31 may be a storage unit, and the storage unit may be a solid-state drive (SSD) specification interface. In addition, in other embodiments, the storage unit may also be a Hard Disk Drive (HDD) interface (not shown), and the invention is not limited to the HDD interface of the second substrate 31.
Advantageous effects of the embodiments
One of the benefits of the present invention is that the hard disk U with encryption and decryption functions and the application system S thereof provided in the embodiment of the present invention can utilize the technical solution that the first connector of the encryption and decryption module is connected to the second connector of the storage module, so that the first substrate is coupled to the second substrate and the technical solution that the first substrate, the first connector and the second connector are connected between the transmission port and the second substrate, thereby having encryption and decryption functions.
Further, since the encryption/decryption module 2 of the present invention can be selectively set, the manufacturer can selectively make the hard disk have the encryption/decryption function or not. Furthermore, since the specification interface of the first connector 22 of the encryption/decryption module 2 may correspond to the specification interface of the second connector 32 of the storage module 3, the hard disk U with encryption/decryption functions and the application system S thereof provided by the embodiment of the present invention may be suitable for hard disks with different specifications and sizes.
The disclosure is only a preferred embodiment of the invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the claims, so that all technical equivalents and modifications using the contents of the specification and drawings are included in the scope of the claims.
