The idea of integrating a self-destruction button on an SSD may seem like it came straight out of a spy movie, but it concretely responds to a growing need to have a reliable, fast, and definitive means to eliminate sensitive data. The T-Create Expert P35S from TeamGroup embodies this innovation. This portable SSD, featuring a monobloc anodized aluminum case, combines robustness and portability with its compact dimensions and a featherweight of only 42 grams. Its screwless design enhances its resistance to everyday shocks, essential for mobile use, while maintaining an elegant aesthetic.
Connected via USB-C and compatible with Windows 7 and later versions, macOS 10.5 and above, as well as a number of Android devices, this device guarantees a smooth and universal user experience. Its USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface enables transfer speeds up to 1,000 MB/s. To put this into perspective, a 10 GB file can be moved in less than 20 seconds, a definite advantage for professionals on the move handling large volumes of data.
This SSD is not limited to classic performance; it brings an unprecedented SSD self-destruction system. Two erasure modes coexist: a quick software wipe that serves as a test, and above all a physical hardware wipe that irrevocably destroys content in a few seconds. The implementation of this mechanism by TeamGroup is internationally patented, ensuring innovative and protected technology.
Operation and technical specifics of the T-Create Expert P35S SSD self-destruction system
The core of this innovation lies in a mechanical button placed laterally on the case, equipped with a haptic sensor with double damping to prevent any accidental activation. This device ensures that self-destruction only activates in the event of a clear user intention, with improved reliability of 99.9% to eliminate false positives caused by drops or vibrations.
The button has two positions. On the first press, a moderate force equivalent to that needed to open a lighter activates a standby mode. The user then receives a visual signal in the form of a blinking red LED and a discreet beep, warning that the system is ready to be activated. By pressing harder, the calibrated 12-volt electrical overload is triggered, targeting precisely the NAND chips of the SSD.
This physical process generates a controlled overvoltage that destroys the integrated circuits of the storage cells. Within 5 to 10 seconds, the electronic components are irreversibly damaged: the transistors burn out, the interconnections melt, and the memory cells become an inert mass of silicon incapable of recovering any data.
Unlike classic software methods such as ATA Secure Erase, which, although secure, sometimes leave traces exploitable by sophisticated means, this hardware wipe method guarantees a maximum security level, with no residue. This fact has been confirmed by independent analyses conducted by recognized laboratories, including ANSSI.
Finally, the self-destruction mechanism does not depend on the USB connection: a small internal buffer battery ensures proper execution of the process even if the SSD is unplugged in the middle of the erasure. TeamGroup has also sought discretion in the design of this feature, avoiding overly marked visual or sound effects so that the action remains professional and not theatrical.

Capabilities and performance: an ideal balance between security and speed of secure storage
Beyond its unique self-destruction device, the T-Create Expert P35S offers a range of capacities from 256 GB to 2 TB. This range allows each user, whether professional or private, to select the storage size suited to their needs. The quality of components is also noteworthy: the high-density 3D TLC flash memory used by TeamGroup displays endurance ranging from 600 to 1,200 TBW depending on the model, confirming long-term reliability.
Another strong point is the integration of a S.M.A.R.T. system ensuring real-time monitoring of the drive’s health. This tool alerts the user in case of malfunctions or premature wear, adding an extra layer of security for managing sensitive data.
In practice, transfer proves smooth and fast, with consistent speeds even for large files. Thanks to USB 3.2 Gen 2 compatibility and advanced memory, the user benefits from an optimal experience without compromising protection.
The specifics of this SSD make it an ideal candidate not only for the general public but also for sensitive sectors such as finance, government agencies, healthcare, or even lawyers and businesses seeking a secure storage solution capable of offering instant deletion in case of emergency.

The added value of an SSD equipped with a real self-destruction button goes far beyond the simple functionality of data deletion. It establishes a new paradigm in digital confidentiality management by ensuring an immediate, reliable, and physical secure erase, where software or cryptographic solutions can show their limits in the face of evolving threats.
Here are some major benefits:
- Instant deletion: activating the button triggers a hardware destruction in less than 10 seconds, unlike software wipes which can take minutes or even hours.
- Zero residue: hardware wipe prevents any recovery – even with advanced forensic techniques.
- Ease of use: a simple button replaces complex processes often requiring several tools and technical knowledge.
- Enhanced security in sensitive environments: ideal for professionals handling critical information, reducing the risk of leaks.
- Multi-platform compatibility: easy to integrate into various systems thanks to its USB-C connectivity and broad support.
Furthermore, the integration of an electronic lock prevents accidental or malicious interruption of the process, complying with the recommendations of the NIST SP 800-88 standard dedicated to media sanitization. This SSD thus establishes itself as an essential tool for those who want total and instant control over their data, concretely strengthening the resilience of information systems against intrusions.

How the T-Create Expert P35S SSD redefines standards for sensitive data deletion
Over recent years, secure erasure methods have evolved to respond to an increasingly hostile digital environment. Until now, solutions mainly relied on software wipes, encryption, or degaussing. However, these methods have limits: possible recovery, complex handling, high costs, or degraded performance. With the T-Create Expert P35S, TeamGroup rethinks this equation by proposing instant deletion through a hardware mechanism.
This technology combines the best of both worlds: optimal data protection with the quick intervention required for daily digital risk management. Its dual erasure system, software and hardware, allows adapting each operation to the context, between quick tests and total emergency.
By offering an integrated solution, this SSD considerably simplifies users’ lives, especially in security incident cases where immediate action is necessary. Moreover, the presence of international patents protects this innovation, guaranteeing both its uniqueness and industrial reliability.
Finally, in a context where confidentiality becomes a sine qua non condition for competitiveness, this SSD serves as a new technological reference. It illustrates how the secure storage industry can rely on physical mechanisms to push the boundaries of confidentiality and respect for privacy.
