Where physical destruction is required, you'd have to open the drive to verify destruction. At that point, it seems a hammer or grinder would be just as easy. A hole through the chip wouldn't prevent reading if someone was really dedicated.

It depends on how much of the die was destroyed. I'm going to assume that the charge will destroy the entire die, or the majority of it, which would incapacitate the drive.
This is designed for use in situations where you have to get rid of data quickly. Pressing a button and having an eraser size hole in the flash memory is going to destroy whatever was there.
