"The rectangular black drive weighs just 1.5 ounces (42 g) and measures 3.5 x 1.6 x 0.7 inches (90 x 40 x 18 mm) while holding 256 GB, 512 GB, 1 TB or 2 TB of data, depending on which SKU you choose. It uses a standard USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface that can transfer data at rates of up to 1,000 MB/s read or write."
"However, the real standout feature of the P35S is its ability to brick itself ... permanently. On the top surface of the drive, there's a switch that you can use to initiate the kill process. To make sure you don't trigger it by accident, you must perform a two-step process. First, you must slide the switch forward, revealing a red warning strip. Then you must press the switch down, after which point your drive will no longer be a functional piece of kit."
"The drive uses what TeamGroup calls "dual-mode data destruction" with "chip destruction" mechanisms. It's not really clear from the press release how this is all accomplished, but we assume from the term "dual mode" that it is both performing a software wipe and physically damaging itself. TeamGroup calls this operation "One-click circuit destruction" and claims that it "physically destroys the NAND chip to ensure zero data residue and prevent any form of data recovery." The press materials warn that performing this process destroys the drive and renders your warranty void."
The T-Create Expert P35S is a portable USB-powered SSD available in 256 GB, 512 GB, 1 TB, and 2 TB capacities. The rectangular black drive measures 3.5 x 1.6 x 0.7 inches and weighs 1.5 ounces. It uses a USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface with up to 1,000 MB/s read and write speeds. A two-step mechanical switch triggers a permanent self-destruct that performs dual-mode data destruction and physical chip damage. The operation is marketed as One-click circuit destruction and claims to physically destroy the NAND to prevent data recovery. The process requires the drive to be plugged into a PC or Mac and voids the warranty.
