seems unnecessary with encryption
SketchySeaBeast•2h ago
You know, sometimes security through obscurity works. If you can't find all the pieces you certainly aren't going to retrieve their data.
dafelst•2h ago
You can be compelled to give up encryption passphrases, either through legal process or by force. If that data is irrecovably and provably erased, that is no longer an avenue for access.

ATA_REQUEST_THERMITE_RELEASE

ATA_POLL_THERMITE_RELEASED // always returns 0. Assume 1 if timeout

MarkusWandel•2h ago
If smartphones can wipe themselves irrecoverably on factory reset by simply throwing away the storage encryption key, why not do the same thing and avoid all the trouble? Surely erasing 512 bits or so, irrecoverably, can be done quickly.
elchananHaas•36m ago
Flash chips, unlike hard drives, are highly reliant on their controllers. If you hit it with a hammer the data is unrecoverable. No need for a voltage zap.
