About this file
This document is the National Security Agency/Central Security Service (NSA/CSS) Evaluated Products List (EPL) for Solid State Disintegrators, dated April 2025. The list provides guidance for securely destroying classified solid state storage devices, including cell phones, tablets, USB drives, circuit boards, SIM cards, and optical media like CDs and DVDs. The document details eight solid state disintegrator models from seven vendors that have been approved after performance testing, which evaluates the device's ability to reduce storage devices to a maximum edge size of 2 millimeters or less.
The approved devices come from Applied Magnetics Laboratory, Capital Shredder Corp., Data Security, GigaBiter, Marquis Business Systems, Security Engineered Machinery, and Whitaker Brothers Business Machines. Each device has specific acceptable materials for disintegration, with most capable of processing multiple types of storage media. The NSA notes that it conducts continuous research on data recovery and may remove products from the list as storage technology changes. For DoD customers, there is a six-year grace period if a product is removed, while other government contractors should follow their specific organizational guidance.

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.
