Team Group has recently launched its brand new solid-state drive, the P250Q. What makes this product stand out is that users can completely wipe all stored data with just the press of a button, making it quite the sensation in the market. The company emphasizes that even in the event of a sudden power outage, the data self-destruction mechanism can be executed immediately, reminiscent of spy gadgets from the movies.
The P250Q is equipped with multiple military-grade technologies and patents, further enhancing data security and stability in extreme environments. This solid-state drive is designed according to the M.2 2280 standard, featuring a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface, and offers four storage options: 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, and 2TB. Additionally, it boasts impressive read speeds of up to 7GB/s and write speeds of 5.5GB/s. The product utilizes 112-layer stacked TLC flash memory from Western Digital or Kioxia (formerly Toshiba Memory), with up to 3000 write and erase cycles, and an astonishing mean time between failures exceeding 3 million hours.
The P250Q features a dedicated red button that, when pressed, activates the data destruction mechanism. The duration of the press will determine the different operational modes, and during the wipe process, an LED light indicates the current status. This product also incorporates Team Group's patented technology Safe Independent Self-Destruct Circuit, which allows the destruction signal to be directly connected to the flash memory chip. This ensures that even if the hard drive suddenly loses power, the data erasure procedure can still function normally, effectively enhancing data security in extreme environments.
Designed for industrial-grade applications, the P250Q has also received military-grade certification and features dedicated firmware management functions such as global wear leveling and garbage collection. Its storage temperature range can reach from -55°C to 95°C, while its operating temperature range is from 0°C to 70°C. Furthermore, when temperatures hit 85°C or 105°C, it actively adjusts performance to ensure system stability.
