A Guide to Buying a Top-Notch HDD Destroyer
Destroying old hard drives is part of standard compliance with data protection laws. It protects sensitive information and reduces the risk of data breaches. Physical destruction is the only secure and acceptable method among the many ways of destroying hard drives. It involves the total obliteration of all external and internal components of the media so they are impossible to recover.
Phiston Technologies provides end-of-life data destruction solutions to ensure data security. Choose from our selection of disintegrators for hard disk drives (HDDs), solid state drives (SDDs) and other media.
Factors to Consider When Buying a Hard Disk Destroyer
When choosing hard drive destruction equipment, it’s not enough to look into what’s included in the NSA/EPL list. Instead, weigh these factors:
- Shredding capacity: How many hard drives do you need to destroy regularly? If your organization handles large volumes of media, high-throughput hard drive destroyers are the best choice. Compact HDD destroyers that handle over 100 drives per hour would be best for small to mid-scale applications.
- Technology: Consider the device’s destruction method. Hydraulic crushing and industrial shredding are ideal for permanently destroying old hard drives.
- Versatility: If you have a limited budget or space, choose versatile devices that can destroy multiple media types. You can also select stackable HDD destroyers to maximize space in your data center.
- Eco-friendliness: The physical destruction of hard drives produces electronic waste. Reduce your carbon footprint by opting for machines that produce recyclable e-waste so it doesn’t end up in landfills.
These features are all present in Phiston Technologies’ hard disk drive destroyers. Browse our catalog to find the right device for your needs.
