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.
