Teamgroup’s P250Q SSD deletes itself for your safety

Military-grade paranoia in a PCIe 4.0 stick

Teamgroup has decided that blowing up your data should be just a click away, launching the P250Q Self-Destruct SSD for anyone paranoid enough to want their files vaporised at the hardware level.

This shiny slab of 3D TLC NAND supports PCIe Gen4x4 and NVMe 1.4, managing up to 7,000MB/s read and 5,500MB/s write speeds. But the real party trick is its destruction circuit, which targets the Flash IC directly, erasing data permanently.

The company boasts an auto-resume feature to keep shredding after a power outage, making sure your precious secrets don’t survive a blackout.

Like its P35S sibling, the P250Q uses a one-click trigger and LED status lights to keep things idiot-proof. But just how many people want to carry an SSD designed to self-destruct so US airport security can't find your funny Trump mems is another matter.

Teamgroup claims this is ideal for military and industrial use, though it’s hard to see it fitting into everyday workflows unless you regularly handle launch codes. It’s got S.M.A.R.T. health monitoring and storage from 256GB to 2TB, but if you’re not governed by terrifying data policies, it may be overkill.
