"The National Security Agency (NSA) requires that SSDs be disintegrated to a 2mm or smaller particle using a NSA/CSS evaluated Disintegrator. Although SSDs can be disintegrated, you should use caution when doing so. Small thumb-drive type products can be disintegrated in office Disintegrators if the volume is small and they are fed sparingly with other materials. Full sized SSDs should be opened before destruction. Boards/Chips should be removed and fed into an industrial Disintegrator (10 HP or more). "
