Unlike older models that overheated after 100 drives, the V300 uses a dual-fan vortex cooling system, allowing for 24/7 operation in ITAD facilities. The duty cycle is rated for 500 drives per hour in "Erase only" mode and 150 drives per hour in "Crush" mode.

While software erasers max out at the SATA bandwidth shared with the CPU (often ~150 MB/s due to OS overhead), the V300 utilizes PCIe direct memory access.
