NSA/CSS Evaluated Products List for 

Solid State Disintegrators 

OVERVIEW 

Devices included on this list have passed evaluation by meeting requirements set by the NSA/CSS for the destruction of 

classified solid state storage devices. Meant to serve as guidance, inclusion in this document is not an endorsement by the 

NSA/CSS or the U.S. Government. All listed products sanitize TS/SCI and below. 

 QUALIFICATIONS FOR APPROVAL 

Performance testing evaluates the device’s ability to 

reduce any solid state storage device to a maximum edge 

size of 2 millimeter or less. 

Devices* that meet the NSA/CSS sanitization specification 

for specific solid state storage devices, as well as optical 

storage devices are identified as such. 

Equipment is listed in alphabetical order by vendor and 

contains all solid state disintegrators that have passed 

evaluation. Models that are no longer manufactured but 

still approved are included. Model numbers on equipment 

must match the model numbers shown in this list. 

Vendors submitting equipment for evaluation will no 

longer have their return shipping costs funded by NSA. 

Questions about specific models not shown can be directed 

to the Center for Storage Device Sanitization Research at 

301-688-1053 or CSDSR_NSA@nsa.gov. 

 WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW 

1. This list serves as guidance for the disintegration of 

solid state and optical devices. Examples of solid state 

storage devices include: 

 Cell phones 

 Tablets 

 USB/Flash/Thumb Drives 

 Solid State Drives inside desktop computers and 

laptops 

 Circuit Boards 

 SIM Cards, EMV Cards, Credit Cards and other 

Magnetic Strip Cards 

Optical storage devices include: 

 CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray Disks (BD) 

2. Not all devices* can securely disintegrate all solid 

state storage devices. Be sure to review the 

“acceptable material” remarks for approved formats. 

3. Remove all labels or markings that indicate previous 

use or classification. 

4. Each device offers different convenience features, 

footprints, throughput rates and power requirements. 

Contact the vendor to identify the unit(s) best suited to 

your site’s needs. 

5. The NSA/CSS conducts continuous research on data 

recovery and may remove products from this EPL as 

the data storage industry changes.

 When a product is removed from this EPL, a six 

year grace period is in effect for DoD customers. 

IC customers should follow your organization’s 

policy regarding this matter. Government 

Contractors should follow guidance/policy of 

their cognizant government industrial security 

oversight organization.

* Although some devices may be approved for hard disk drives, no device listed herein is approved to sanitize HAMR (Heat Assisted 

Magnetic Recording) media. Please refer to the NSA/CSS 9-12 Storage Device Sanitization Manual for alternative sanitization methods. 

This document is updated on an as-needed basis. The procedures for administration and distribution of the EPL are subject to change 

without notice.
