Abstract:
Disclosed is an apparatus for destroying the operational aspects and electronic media of a Solid State Drive (SSD) yet maintaining the physical shape of the SSD for identification. The apparatus includes a crusher box having counter-rotating rollers that are intermeshed to provide a high speed feed of an SSD wherein teeth formed on the rollers render the electron media non-accessible and impart a distinctive waffle like appearance for ease of identifying destroyed SSD's. A VFD-PID controller is used to vary the speed of an electric motor  50  with the PID having a feedback signal that allows for various target values to be set.

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus for destroying a solid state drive (SSD) while maintaining SSD housing shape for identification, said apparatus comprising:\n a crushing box forming an interior and an exterior with an entry into the interior and an exit from the interior; a first roller having a first axis centrally disposed and rotatably secured to said interior of said crushing box, said first roller including rows of teeth, each row having a plurality of teeth positioned along an outer diameter (D 1 ) of said first roller with each tooth having a 45 degree tip with a leading side edge positioned at about 15 degrees from said axis, each tooth having a width (W 1 ) and each row having teeth spaced apart from an adjoining row forming a gap; a second roller having a second axis centrally disposed and rotatably secured and positioned at a fixed distance which is parallel to said first roller, said second roller forming a mirror image of said first roller, said second roller having rows of teeth rotatable within said gap formed within each row of said first roller; an adjustable block adjustably positioned between said first roller and said second roller maintaining said first and second roller in a spaced apart position to prevent shearing of the SSD; a drive mechanism having a gear motor coupled to spur gears and controlled by a variable frequency drive\u2014proportional integral derivative controller for controlling speed of rotation of said first roller operated in a clockwise direction and said second roller operated in a counter-clockwise direction, said control having a feedback signal to detect rotational jabs of said drive mechanism; wherein an SSD placed between said first and second roller is drawn therebetween causing irreparable damage to said SSD and embedding a pattern on the SSD without fragmenting the SSD providing a constant feedback signal to said proportional integral derivative controller, whereby the SSD can destroyed at a rate of speed of about 3 seconds per 2.5\u2033 SSD and be stored indefinitely with the embedded pattern having an imprint granularity of 2 mm\u00d72 mm or less providing a distinctive waffle pattern to illustrate visual of the SSD destruction.
