Interesting article ?
http//windowssecrets.com/top-story/best-techniques-for-the-safe-disposal-of-drives/

The easiest and most effective way to sanitize an SSD is to crush all the chips with a hammer, as shown in Figure 1. (You can use the same technique on hard-drive platters.) This method is 100 percent effective

(bolding/highlighting by me)

But this is actually (for me) news )

If you carry around highly sensitive data in your notebook, Secure Drives (site) offers an SED-equipped solid-state drive with a built-in self-destruct feature. The drive has its own cell phone; should you lose your computer, you simply send an SMS message to the drive. (It can also be configured to automatically self-destruct if it can’t receive an SMS message, or by other means.) Like something out of a James Bond movie, the drive self-destructs by fracturing the memory chips with an ultrasonic shockwave.

The idea of a central switch capable of physically destroying up to 50 devices is interesting, as well as the "out of range self destruction"

What could possibly go wrong? 😯
