Wipe can be used to secure data on office machines, such as copiers and printer systems with storage devices on board, that retain a good deal of sensitive data. The technology works simply by invalidating the security key used to encrypt data on the drive when the power supply is interrupted, instantly making all content unreadable. The approach is much simpler to accomplish than overwriting a hard drive with zeroes or extracting it from the device and degaussing it.
No mention has been made of when or how Wipe would be implemented on hard drives, though it's likely to be limited to Toshiba's self-encrypting hard drive models for now.

All I can think of is that one of the buildings that we had a server sitting in had a very nice UPS, one small problem, nothing was plugged into it.
***Alert power outage***
If the servers at that location had been built using this technology, BAM! All data lost...god I would have laughed...then cried...then quit XD

I had heard that "Maxtor" had this technology for years.
