Moore hauls the dripping wet drive into an open-faced incinerator pit. On top of it, he places a standard 500GB drive (without an enclosure of any kind) in a tray. Then, he sets it ablaze.

So this company makes the drives and protects them. Wow! I'd buy their products, but I'm not sure how reliable their drives are. I also think that eventually the protected drive would have been damaged as evidenced by the scorch marks surrounding the drive. Now if the drive were to withstand a thermonuclear explosion then I'm convinced. Although if that were to happen I probably won't be around to use my protected data. This product makes little sense for the average consumer. The high cost would deter the average consumer during these harsh economic times. The company has to provide another product or service to make this worthwhile. Otherwise, they are destined to fail.
