Sandisk external SSD is encrypted on TS-453A

[moranbp]

Hello,

I have a TS-453A and I'm trying to format an external drive (sandisk Extreme PRO Portable SSD) the disk has a built in encryption with an .exe file to decrypt.

On windows machine it is simple to unlock, but I need to unlock it on the TS-453A and format it. In the dropdown menu there's no "enryption management" only

options are Format/Eject/Device Information. When I attempt to format I fail because the disk is locked.

How can I unlock it and proceed to format it?

Thanks

Cant you decrypt and format it at PC and afterwards a 2nd time at NAS?

No I can't. The disk locks on every new connection
