A company has developed an M.2 SSD storage drive that can self-destruct by frying its own memory. The product comes from the Taiwanese memory vendor Team Group, which is marketing the SSD to customers working in sensitive industries, including defense, factory automation and AI development. Of course, users can destroy an M.2 SSD the old fashioned way by physically breaking it or throwing it into a fire. In a video simulating the self-destruct mechanism, Team Group showed the SSD can be installed on a PC motherboard. Team Group also hasn't revealed the product’s cost.
