SecureDrives GSM-Equipped SSD Will Physically Self-Destruct With a Simple Text Message @HotHardware

In a trick recently adapted from smartphones with remote data purging, and pretty much every superspy story in the history of ever, remotely self-destructing hard drives are now available for public purchase.  Apparently the drives are also tamper-resistant, so any attempt to physically break into the drive will also trigger it to pop.  So if you're needing to make sure your data absolutely, positively doesn't fall into the wrong hands, now peace of mind is just a text message away. 

The drives have a SIM card embedded onto them, and the worldwide roaming capabilities mean that the right text message to the right number will render the drive useless and impossible to salvage. There's a physical destruction mechanism onboard, so you best be sure that you really want things gone forever before sending the text.
