The INDUSTRIAL P250Q Self-Destruct SSD, a revolutionary storage device that combines an independent destruction circuit with a hardware and software-based data-erasure mechanism, was unveiled by Team Group this week. Because of this dual-mode destruction strategy, the drive most recently took home the 2025 COMPUTEX Best Choice Award in the Cyber Security Category.
According to Team Group, companies that depend on software-only wipes frequently have interrupted or insufficient erasing during power outages. In order to ensure hardware-level deletion, Team Group's solution incorporates a proprietary destruction circuit that targets the Flash IC directly and is patented under Taiwan Utility Model Patent: M662727.
The Team group further notes that a "intelligent software system" automatically detects and resumes erasure following an outage, helping to protect proprietary, classified, or private data so that recovery is impossible even in the event of outages.
Even if this isn't for consumers, it's still a really intriguing product because we might have comparable implementations for ordinary users in the future.
- Self-destruct activation with a single click
- Intelligent erasing in two modes (hardware and software)
- Targeting the Flash IC, a secure independent destruction circuit
- Erasure by auto-resume following a power outage
- LED indicators with multiple stages for real-time progress
