Teamgroup has unveiled the P250Q Self-Destruct SSD, a new storage drive designed for high-security environments where sensitive data must be erased instantly and permanently. The drive, which combines hardware and software-based destruction, aims to address growing concerns over industrial and military data leaks. However, its practicality outside tightly controlled settings remains unclear.
At the heart of the Teamgroup P250Q SSD is a patented circuit that physically wipes data by targeting the Flash IC, the core storage component. Teamgroup claims the drive can continue erasing data even after a power outage, ensuring no traces of data remain. A one-click trigger and LED indicators simplify the process.

The Teamgroup P250Q offers storage from 256GB to 2TB, using 3D TLC NAND Flash, and supports PCIe Gen4x4 with NVMe 1.4, delivering speeds up to 7,000MB/s read and 5,500MB/s write. It also includes S.M.A.R.T. monitoring for reliability.
While the self-destruct feature may appeal to organizations with strict data protocols, it’s definitely not meant for regular consumers. Similar concepts, like Ovrdrive’s past attempt, faced challenges in mass adoption. For now, the P250Q appears tailored for niche security needs rather than everyday use.
