You Can Permanently Destroy Your Data With This Pen Drive

After a long period of usage, when it’s finally time to sell your old computer or laptop, I am sure you’d want to delete all your personal and professional information stored in it before handing it to the buyer. Well, turns out that a simple factory-reset is just not enough to actually destroy the files stored in it. That is why a UK-based company has now made a special pen drive to securely wipe your hard drive.

Now, the company says that the “Destruct Pro” uses a 3-pass cryptographic-mechanism to destroy all the files and data in a storage-drive. It emphasizes the fact that after using this pen-drive on your PC or laptop, none of your files are coming back to see the light of the day.

Moreover, as per the company’s claims, if someone uses a professional forensic data-recovery tool to retrieve the files, he/ she will only find scraps of jumbled data, which would be meaningless.

So, if you want something that can actually destroy digital files and data stored in a hard-drive, you can check out the Destruct Pro on Indiegogo. The company is currently running a campaign on the crowdfunding platform and has raised 987 GBP (~Rs. 94,896).
