TeamGroup has announced a new portable SSD drive<\/a> called the T-Create Expert P35S<\/a> that could give you some peace of mind if you\u2019re worried about your data falling into the wrong hands. Instead of using encryption to lock everything behind a password or biometric security, the P35S has a single button that initiates a self-destruct. There\u2019s no visible smoke or explosions like in a Mission Impossible<\/em> movie, but the company says its \u201cpatented one-click data destruction circuit\u201d uses \u201cchip destruction\u201d mechanisms to \u201cachieve a truly irreversible data wipe.\u201d<\/p>\n

The company hasn\u2019t announced pricing details or when the P35S will be available for purchase, but it will be offered in four different capacities from 256GB up to 2TB. Including an easy-access button on the outside that starts the self-destruction process and turns the entire drive into e-waste feels risky, but there are safeguards that prevent the drive from accidentally getting blanked while it\u2019s bouncing around in your pocket.<\/p>\n

The P35S needs to be connected to a computer with a USB-C cable, and that button functions as a two-stage sliding switch. Sliding it to the first stage, partially revealing a red warning sign, requires a bit of force. While pushing it to the second stage, which starts the self-destruction, requires even more force.<\/p>\n

Once the self-destruction is started it will continue until the drive is blanked and dead, even if it\u2019s disconnected from a computer. The process ensures there\u2019s \u201czero data residue\u201d to \u201cprevent any form of recovery,\u201d according to TeamGroup. That\u2019s why the company warns the P35S is \u201cnot intended for general consumers, personal data backup, or everyday storage purposes\u201d and is instead targeted at users who handle and transport confidential or classified data.<\/p>\n

In addition to its self-nuking capabilities, the P35S features a single USB-C port 3.2 Gen 2 port with up to 1,000MB\/s read and write speeds. The entire drive is just over 3.5-inches long and weighs 42 grams.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
