[QUOTE="MacFromOK, post: 3470026, member: 40864"] FWIW, this ain't necessarily so... Hard disk drives can be "booby-trapped" to erase in less than a second (I'm guessin' SSDs wouldn't survive it either). However, I suspect this was not in use due to the risk of carelessness. One slip could wipe the entire server(s) without a serious safety factor built in. It doesn't have to be complicated (nor expensive), and used to be a somewhat common practice among elite hackers/crackers back in the day when the gov pursued what few there were with a vengeance. At least that's what I've heard... ;) Carry on. :drunk2: [/QUOTE]
