Collection: HDD & SSD Destruction

Safely and securely destroying data will depend upon your security requirementsMany opt to use hard disk shredders to dispose of HDD and SSD, but this may not be enough for organizations requiring a higher level of security.

In those situations, combining HDD and SSD shredding with a degausser will ensure that data cannot be retrieved from the devices, keeping top secret and sensitive information safe.

FAQs

How do you properly destroy a hard drive?

Destroying a hard drive to ensure that the data cannot be retrieved from it is challenging This is why experts recommend using a hard drive shredder to break the hard drive itself For an additional layer of protection and security, a degausser will ensure that any data on the drive cannot be rescued.

 

Can you drill a hard drive to destroy it?

Drilling a hard drive to destroy it is not always an effective method In order to destroy the data, you need to drill in the correct place Even then, the data can still be retrieved afterwards Using a combination of a degausser and a shredder is the most effective way to ensure data protection.

 

Can SSD data be destroyed?

Destroying an SSD is considered more challenging than other counterparts, as the SSD does not store data magnetically Traditional methods will not give the same level of security, which is why an SSD shredder is the best solution.

 

Which is better for HDD and SSD destruction: shredding, puncturing, or degaussing?

Puncturing is where multiple pins are punched into the drive itself while shredding breaks the drive into many smaller pieces Of the two, many prefer to use shredding as it breaks the drive into smaller pieces However, for another layer of security, degaussing can be used on HDD to prevent data from being retrieved.
