Autothysis128t is a GMS-powered device that also features 256-bit hardware level encryption and 2-factor authentication. In case the SSD gets stolen or lost, you get to destroy it with a simple code that you can send to the device via text messaging. According to SecureDrives, after the self-destruction the device fragments itself to make its data non-recoverable in any way. The self-destruction can also be set to be activated when someone tries to tamper with the device or when a wrong unlock code is entered too many times.

The Autothysis128t Self-Encrypting Drive costs £1,027 (around $1,650) for the 128GB SSD model.
