Critical Operating Requirements
Device Preparation (MANDATORY)
The following components MUST be removed before processing:
- All batteries (lithium-ion, alkaline, etc.)
- Capacitors and relays
- Heat-sinks and metal covers
- Large LCD displays
WARNING: Failure to remove these components can cause fires, explosions, or toxic fume release.
Electrical Infrastructure
- 208V 3-phase, 50 amps per phase required
- Professional installation by licensed electrician mandatory
- Connection method (hardwired or industrial plug) determined by electrician
- Dedicated circuit required
Important Restrictions
- Cannot process traditional hard drives - HDDs will damage unit and void warranty
- Cannot process rotational media - Magnetic media requires different destruction methods
- Designed exclusively for solid-state storage devices
Compliance & Certifications
- NSA/CSS Specifications for Solid State Devices Destruction
- NIST SP 800-88r1 Guidelines for Media Sanitization
- ISO/IEC 21964 (DIN 66399) Similar to O-7/T-7/E-7
- TAA Compliant for Federal Procurement
- HIPAA Healthcare Information Protection
- GDPR EU Data Protection Requirements

Why Physical Disintegration is Essential for SSDs
Solid-state drives store data using electrical charges trapped in flash memory cells. Unlike magnetic media, these devices are completely unaffected by degaussing or magnetic fields. Software-based erasure methods cannot guarantee complete data elimination due to wear leveling, bad blocks, and controller-level data management.
The NSA determined through extensive testing that physical particles must be smaller than 2mm to prevent any possibility of data recovery from individual memory chips. The Kobra SSD achieves this through its two-stage destruction process: initial breaking with 16-blade grinders followed by fine disintegration to sand-like particles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this destroy traditional hard drives?
No. The Kobra SSD is specifically designed for solid-state media only. Traditional hard drives require magnetic degaussing and different shredding equipment. Processing HDDs will damage the unit and void the warranty.
What solid-state formats can it handle?
All formats including SATA SSDs, M.2, NVMe, PCIe SSDs, USB flash drives, SD cards, microSD, CompactFlash, eMMC, and embedded flash in phones and tablets (after battery removal).
Why must batteries be removed?
Lithium batteries can explode or catch fire when shredded, creating serious safety hazards and toxic fumes. This is a mandatory safety requirement.
How does the LMS audit trail work?
The included Log Management System uses a USB barcode scanner to capture serial numbers as devices are destroyed. Data is automatically timestamped and exported via Excel for compliance documentation.
What's the actual throughput with preparation time?
The 90 lbs/hour rate is for feeding prepared devices. Factor additional time for removing batteries and prohibited components from phones, tablets, and circuit boards.
Can it run continuously?
Yes, the Kobra SSD is designed for continuous duty operation without required cool-down periods.
Professional installation required. Electrical infrastructure must be verified before ordering. Contact Media Duplication Systems for facility assessment.
