Various storage devices may benefit from encryption technologies. For example, storage devices may benefit from systems and methods for a fully isolated encryption key filling port. A system can, for example, include a host connector installed in a host computer and configured to connect to a storage connector in a storage device. The system can also include a key fill device connected to the host connector. The key fill device may be configured to communicate data to the storage device via one or more pins in the host connector. The host computer may be configured to not use the one or more pins as data pins. 1. A system , comprising:a host connector installed in a host computer and configured to connect to a storage connector in a storage device; anda key fill device removably connected to the storage connector of the storage device,wherein the key fill device is configured to communicate data to the storage device via one or more pins in the storage connector, wherein the host computer is configured to not use the one or more pins as data pins.2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more pins comprises one or more power pins.3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more pins comprise at least one of a no connect pin claim 1 , a reserved pin claim 1 , a status pin claim 1 , or a ground pin.4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the host connector comprises a standard connector.5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the standard connector comprises at least one of a SATA connector claim 4 , a SAS connector claim 4 , a SCSI connector claim 4 , or a PATA connector.6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more pins consist of one power pin or two power pins.7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more pins comprise one or more 12V power pins or one or more 3.3V power pins or one or more 5.0V power pins or one or more of the pins defined to provide power to the storage connector.8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the host connector comprises a serial ...
