Proton PDS-SSD SSD & Flash Media Destroyer Insert
Shop data destruction by need: Hard Drive Degaussers · HDD Destroyers & Crushers · SSD & Media Shredders · NSA/CSS EPL-Listed Equipment · All Proton Data Security
The Proton PDS-SSD adds solid-state and flash-media destruction capability to compatible Proton PDS-75 and PDS-100 hard drive destroyers. The removable insert uses 95 steel spikes to puncture memory-bearing components on SSDs and other supported flash media, providing fast physical destruction without requiring a separate standalone machine.
Why This Product Matters Today
More laptops, servers and mobile devices now rely on SSD and flash storage, and those devices cannot be sanitized by magnetic degaussing. Organizations that already own a PDS-75 or PDS-100 can extend their destruction workflow to solid-state media without buying a separate full-size machine.
Why you may need it: Choose the PDS-SSD if your organization handles SSDs, USB drives or other flash media and needs a physical destruction option that works with an existing Proton PDS-75 or PDS-100.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why can’t I use a degausser on an SSD?
SSDs store data in solid-state memory rather than magnetic media, so a magnetic field does not sanitize them. They require physical destruction or another approved solid-state sanitization method.
What does the PDS-SSD do?
The insert uses multiple steel spikes to physically puncture and damage supported SSD and flash-media components.
Does the PDS-SSD work by itself?
No. It is an insert designed for compatible Proton PDS-75 and PDS-100 destroyers.
Can it destroy USB drives and other flash media?
It is designed for supported solid-state and flash media, including SSDs and certain smaller flash devices. Confirm dimensions and required destruction standards before use.
