The hard drive you can blow up with a text message

REMINISCENT of something from Mission: Impossible, this hard drive you can make selfdestruct with just a text message.

STELE Exploding computer

REMINISCENT of something from Mission: Impossible, the Autothysis128t is a hard drive you can make selfdestruct with a text message should you lose it or if it happens to fall into the wrong hands.

You can encrypt it with a password, but for added protection it includes a built in cellular radio that can receive texts. You determine the kill command and, when necessary, text it to the drive to make it commit suicide.

The Autothysis128t is a 128GB drive, and can also be taught to selfdestruct in the event that it is disconnected from your computer or if too many wrong passwords are attempted.

The device doesn’t exactly explode or anything like that, but it does scramble its insides to block all known methods of data recovery.

All of this extra security will set you back about $1600.
