Toshiba recently announced the world’s first “Wipe” technology that can automatically wipe sensitive data from self-encrypting drives when a system is powered down or the HDD is removed from the system. By that means, your data will get effectively protected. But the technology cannot really wipe the data, but actually invalidates the security key used to encrypt the stored user data. To users of printers and photocopiers that have storage devices on board, the “Wipe” technology is quite worth waiting for, and they’ll soon see Toshiba’s first product—2.5″ 7200rpm SED HDD model on the market.
