Self-destructing SSD brings espionage-level security to data protection | Select either a software wipe that preserves the drive or hardware-level destruction that renders it unusable


The P250Q-M80 stands out for its dual-mode data destruction system. At the heart of this innovation is a patented independent destruction circuit. With a single press of...

This method sends a high-voltage burst directly to the NAND flash chips, physically destroying them to make data recovery impossible. The company also holds a US patent for its wide-temperature operation technology, which allows the SSD to automatically adjust its transfer speeds across three thermal zones, supporting performance in environments where temperatures can soar well above those tolerated by consumer-grade hardware. Although Team Group has not yet announced pricing or availability for the P250Q-M80, the device's blend of high-speed performance and advanced data destruction features positions it as a notable entry in the market for secure storage solutions.
