SecureDrives drive can be wiped by SMS, with GSM dead-man switch

mirimir · Jun 16, 2015

SecureDrives, which develops hard drives for the military, is releasing one next year that can be physically destroyed just by sending a text message.

The hard drive -which will cost more than £1,000 - is also immune to the radio-frequency blocking bags.

"The hard drive is constantly looking for GSM [Global System for Mobile Communications] signals, if it is starved of them it it would destroy itself. It would see such a bag as a threat," said James Little, head of sales at SecureDrives.
