Self-destructing internal SSD goes live with a one-click unstoppable data destruction promise - even if the power supply is cut

• Teamgroup P250Q SSD self-destruct flash circuits promise instant sanitization for high-risk data in classified deployments
• Hardware-level erasure targets the Flash IC directly, ensuring total data elimination without software
• Built-in AES-256 encryption aligns with military-grade standards for data-at-rest protection

Teamgroup has launched the P250Q Self-Destruct SSD, a drive built for high-security environments where there may be a need for sensitive data to be erased swiftly and irreversibly.

Combining hardware and software-based erasure, it aims to address growing concerns around industrial and military data protection.

But while the technology appears advanced, the usefulness of such a feature outside tightly controlled environments remains uncertain.
