RunCore Introduces Self-Destructable SSD

jones_supa writes "RunCore announces the global launch of its InVincible solid state drive, designed for mission-critical fields such as aerospace or military. The device improves upon a normal SSD by having two strategies for the drive to quickly render itself blank. First method goes through the disk, overwriting all data with garbage. Second one is less discreet and lets the smoke out of the circuitry by driving overcurrent to the NAND chips. Both ways can be ignited with a single push of a button, allowing James Bond -style rapid response to the situation on the field."

    I think you are forgetting the infamous Hitachi DeskStar...

    IIRC the "DeathStar" moniker came about back when IBM still owned the brand, before Hitachi bought it.
