Not if: low battery -> auto wipe Also if the content is encrypted you don't need to auto wipe the 128GB, just auto wiping the AES key is enough. EDIT: To clarify: Many systems like that have a stored AES key for the data encryption which then again is encrypted e.g. "with a password".

That would mitigate one of the issues with auto-wiping (because the owner could store a copy of the key elsewhere and use it to recover the data if a false positive happened), but it should be explained very clearly to the user.
