Imagine pressing a button and instantly vaporizing your data. That’s essentially what TEAMGROUP has made possible with its new P250Q SSD. The industrial-grade storage device includes a hardware-based “self-destruct” feature that can permanently wipe sensitive data in seconds, even after a power outage.
Officially called the TEAMGROUP INDUSTRIAL P250Q Self-Destruct SSD, this isn’t some sci-fi prototype. It’s a real product aimed at industries where security is life-or-death. For instance, think military, AI development, and smart factories. The drive includes an independent destruction circuit that directly targets the flash memory itself. That means no recovery, no forensic restoration, no leaks.
TEAMGROUP didn’t stop with hardware destruction. The P250Q also uses a software system with an auto-resume feature. If power is interrupted during the wiping process, it picks up right where it left off once power returns. Add in one-click activation, a physical LED progress indicator, and NVMe 1.4 compliance with blazing fast PCIe Gen4x4 performance and you’ve got something rare: a storage device that’s both fast and merciless.
This SSD isn’t just fast on paper either. With read speeds up to 7,000MB/s and write speeds up to 5,500MB/s, the P250Q can handle real-world mission-critical workloads. Capacities range from 256GB to 2TB, and it uses high-end 3D TLC NAND. A built-in S.M.A.R.T. system helps monitor health and longevity, so you’re not guessing when it’s time to replace the drive.
While the self-destruct feature is the star, TEAMGROUP also used this announcement to tout its newly patented wide-temperature M.2 SSD tech. Designed to function in extreme environments like electric vehicles and industrial equipment, this tech automatically adjusts transfer speeds across three thermal zones to keep things stable between 85°C and 105°C. That’s not just impressive, folks, it’s necessary in harsh field conditions.
TEAMGROUP says this dual-pronged approach (data security and environmental resilience) is where it’s heading next. With the COMPUTEX 2025 Best Choice Award for Cyber Security already under its belt, the company seems serious about pushing storage tech beyond everyday consumer needs.
Pricing and availability for the P250Q have yet to be announced, but it’s safe to say this SSD won’t be cheap. Then again, for governments or industries protecting sensitive information, it’s not about the price… it’s about peace of mind.
