Seems like it uses a real time encryption for all or part of the hdd, then at the appropriate command, it just "loses" the encryption key. So your data is still there, just no way to access it.]]>Aug 10th 2010 12:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/toshiba-wipe-deletes-your-encrypted-data-so-you-dont-have-to/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/toshiba-wipe-deletes-your-encrypted-data-so-you-dont-have-to/Aug 10th 2010 12:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/toshiba-wipe-deletes-your-encrypted-data-so-you-dont-have-to/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/toshiba-wipe-deletes-your-encrypted-data-so-you-dont-have-to/This product addresses the main issue when companies dispose of the copier/printer and don't even realize that their data exists on the disk drive. So speed is not the main issue--it is not to erase data in the event of a government raid.]]>Aug 10th 2010 1:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/toshiba-wipe-deletes-your-encrypted-data-so-you-dont-have-to/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/toshiba-wipe-deletes-your-encrypted-data-so-you-dont-have-to/
Well my point was that if you are disconnecting or shutting down the drive, you won't have a few days to sit around waiting for the drive to "erase" in the normal manner. The encryption key method sounds good.

if you have forever to wait around then yeah, that works. this seems more or less instantaneous though.]]>Aug 10th 2010 2:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/toshiba-wipe-deletes-your-encrypted-data-so-you-dont-have-to/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/toshiba-wipe-deletes-your-encrypted-data-so-you-dont-have-to/i found Harry Potter to have the most disturbing fan fiction.
