Show me another method that can delete 6.5 GB a data in a completely unrecoverable mannerthat quickly.
RAM? I haven't priced gigabit hardware recently, but I imagine it's similar or more expensive to maintain a gigabit fiber long enough to hold 6.5 GB of data as it is to create a 6.5 GB ramdisk.
The use here (if you must find one) is in hiding data where others don't expect it.

This technique has one advantage that I can see being very useful -- it is easy to delete large amounts of data quickly. Imagine you hear the feds knocking on your door -- you just unplug your fiber, and let all the light (aka your data) fly out into the room. Your data is gone, permanently. If the latency is a minute, then it only takes a minute to delete everything -- all 6.5 GB of data according to your calculations. Show me another method that can delete 6.5 GB a data in a completely unrecoverable manner that quickly. Hard drives need to be overwritten many times, but even then they can still likely be recovered with enough money put toward it. Rick
