Toshiba Announces Self-Erasing Drives

Toshiba has just unveiled a new line of self-erasing hard drives. What makes these drives different that current hard drives? Apparently you get to control when it wipes all your data instead of the standard "nowarningclickclicknoooooallmypornisgone" method that has been around for decades.

Toshiba Wednesday unveiled its first family of self-encrypting hard disk drives (HDDs) that can also erase data when connected to an unknown host. The new Toshiba Self-Encrypting Drives (SED) (models MKxx61GSYG) enable system manufacturers to configure different data invalidation options that align with various end-user scenarios.
