Self-destructing SSD brings espionage-level security to data protection

Something to look forward to: It's the kind of gadget Q might slip into James Bond's tuxedo pocket: an SSD with a built-in self-destruct feature. TeamGroup has developed the P250Q-M80, which brings a touch of cinematic espionage to real-world data security. This industrial-grade storage device is engineered for sectors where data security is paramount, such as defense, industrial automation, and AI development.

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 a dedicated button, users can choose between two levels of data erasure. A brief press triggers a software-based wipe, which erases all stored data while preserving the drive for future use. This process is supported by an intelligent system that resumes the erasure if power is lost mid-operation, ensuring that no data remains accessible once the process is complete ...
