The data is stored encrypted by default, then once the key is discarded you no longer have data, just encrypted gibberish; all without writing to any of the disk where the data was. Much, much faster than having to zero out the whole disk
Clearly this is insufficient, it needs a pound or two of HMX. At a detonation velocity of 9100m/s, it should take care of the data (and everything else) just as fast.
On a more serious note however, how hard would it be to break the encryption, especially if one were able to develop a sufficiently advanced computer in the future (ie. quantum computer)?
