If you are worried about your privacy and data safety, you probably know about methods of data disposal. If important file was deleted using standard functions of Windows Explorer it can be restored easily. It happens because it was deleted only logically, but physically it is on your data storage media, just with the "deleted" mark.
Therefore, file is hidden, and can be rewritten by a newer file if needed, but it is accessible. If we are talking about disposal of confidential information – usual erasing is not an option. If you want to format your HDD, you will need to connect your HDD to PC and launch it, but what if there are no PCs around or you need it fast? Then this small Drive eRaser can come in handy.
WiebeTech's Drive eRazer is a small blue box that is capable of erasing sensitive data from 2.5- / 3.5-inch IDE, PATA and SATA drives without requiring any PC intervention. As company says, sustained rate of data writing is more than 35MB/s, which means that a 250GB HDD will be fully erased in about 2 hours. In addition, for paranoid persons, there is a model that cleans HDD in two or three passes.
Maybe this gadget will be useful to hackers that need to dispose of discreditable information. Just connect your HDD to this eraser, turn it on and hide – all data will be erased before someone finds it. When it comes to the price, one-pass model will cost you 99.95 dollars, and a two-pass - a 50 more.
Swiss Army Knives usually have something special about them. Yeah, why would you carry a box of tools and knives if they all can be with you in one case? You can carry that knife with you in pocket and you'll never be left without tools when you need them. Average Swiss Army Knives have about 6-8 tools, but not in this case.
Victorinox and Wenger, famous manufacturers of multi-tool knives, presented some very special anniversary editions of their popular tools. If you thought that 10 tools will be enough, you are terribly wrong. It features 80 tools, which can perform 110 functions. It is almost like all tools from your house are folded into one big Swiss Army Knife. Sure it is big; I doubt that you'll ever use it when working – usability was not the option when Victorinox and Wenger developed this "monster". I bet it is damn heavy too.
While it can't be easily used, it is a very original gadget, some sort of parody on those multifunctional knives. It can be a great present to people who like tourism or just like multifunctional devices. Also, this is, in some way, a "proof of concept", proof that it is possible to construct Swiss Army Knife with a ton of tools inside. It is possible to make good business on them too, and Victorinox proves it: price for that knife is not so cheap - 792 dollars, and we think its sales are good enough to make manufacturers happy for their "monster knife", however it is more of advertisement move.
Swiss army knives are the epitome of cool gadgets. If you need a screwdriver, a nail file or bottle opener, you can't go wrong with devices of this nature. Some of the newer ones even have cool stuff like memory storage devices on them.
