write protection
Data modification barrier
Write protection is a safeguard preventing data from being modified or deleted.
A write-protected file or disk can be read but not altered.
Physical switches on floppy disks and SD cards enable write protection; software permissions achieve the same effect digitally.
The USB drive has write protection enabled, so I can't save anything to it.
