Portable data storage with the ability to quickly destroy

Must be the size of a lighter
Must have a tactile button
Must have at least 3 slots for flash memory
Should automatically encrypt the contents of flash memory if you do not press a button for 24 hours
The decryption key must be hidden in a safe place
Must have an LED to indicate that the button is activated (green - just now, yellow - more than an hour ago, red - a long time ago)
Must have a speaker with alarm (synchronized with red indicator status)
Pressing the button three times should encrypt the contents of the flash memory
Pressing the button five times should delete the contents of the flash memory
Should have a USB output on the longitudinal side for easy connection to a computer
It is advisable to have a case that imitates some popular item (headphones, vape, power bank)

It is understood that when encrypted, reading from memory cards will become impossible. However, encrypting such a large amount of data is a very long and difficult operation, so it is possible that encryption will be replaced by regular deletion.

I will install 3-6 flash memory cards of 1 terabyte each and create a full backup of my storage there.
