Other than that, how would you know that there is such a safe room at all (I mean before breaking into the house)?
I was more referring to a movable safe, but it's basically the same principle since it's an obvious object. My main concern was indeed that one could spot that safe at the time someone managed to break into a house.
It's basically the same as a hacker that gains access to a cumputer, and then searches through the entire system for useful/valuable information. In case of a hardware wallet, your coins are safe from hackers, while a burglar could run away with the Gold inside the safe (assuming he manages to access what's inside)
Honestly, I don't think it is quite the same
If a hacker gains access to your computer, he can essentially do anything with it including wiping or encrypting all your data. But when a burglar breaks into your home and finds a safe walled in, he still have to open it somehow unless he knows the codes already, of course. But if he doesn't, what can he do? He can't take the safe with him and he is most certainly short of time. He can burn your house in despair, but the gold in the safe won't be affected. Regarding hardware wallets, personally, I don't quite understand why people are so obsessed with them since you are just trusting your bitcoins to a third party. I don't mean to say that they can be stolen but if this wallet breaks without repair the effect for you will be absolutely the same, i.e. your coins gone for good. As to me, the best cold storage is a paper wallet with keys encrypted and copies saved in a few places (say, in your safe and in a deposit box in a bank)
