RunCore has launched its InVincible SSD line, claiming to provide the highest data security with two physically attached buttons, coloured green & red, giving the user a choice of whether to wipe or physically destroy the SSD. The SSD is designed for mission-critical fields including military and aerospace use.
When the green button is pushed, the SSD runs an intelligent elimination of its data by overwriting the entire SSD, similar to performing a secure erase, bringing the SSD back to its “FF-filled” factory default state. The red button applies a less subtle method, which involves physical destruction of the SSD by physically burning out the NAND flash memory with an over-current, emitting a puff of smoke in the process, as seen in its demonstration video.
Based on its YouTube video, InVincible SSD features up to 240MB/s read, up to 140MB/s write and Random 4K performance of about 4600 IOPS based on its CrystalDiskMark results. The SSD comes in a choice of MLC and SLC and is designed for extreme conditions including a very wide temperature range of -45C to +95C.
3 Comments on RunCore unveils InVincible SSD with smoking self-destruct
OCZ-V2 were very environmentally friendly and user friendly. No excess materials were required for self-destruct buttons, and no user-interaction is required to engage the self-destruct function.
And the best thing is that for security purposes ... it happens at a completely random interval, and without prior notification.
OCZ have really outdone themselves ... it's outright shameful that the rest of the SSD technology world is more than 18 months behind ....
I'm curious whether the Vertex 3, 4 & other series are as advanced, in this way, to the Vertex 2's
