Introducing SEM NSA Listed SSD Destruction

The entire SEM team is ecstatic to announce the introduction of the new SSD2-HS solid state disintegrator. This powerhouse device meets the requirements of NSA/CSS 9-12 Storage Device Declassification Policy Manual and destroys solid state drives and boards to a 2mm2 final particle size, ensuring the complete destruction of any and all end-of-life SSD media, including those in casings.

Designed for enterprise drive destruction with increased torque, the SSD2-HS can cut through multiple steel plates, carriers, and other enterprise drive constructed components as well as solid state drives, cell phones, thumb drives, laptop boards, and memory modules. The system was engineered with a wide range of operator health and safety features and targets to provide end users with a consistent, smooth operation.
