Degaussing Only
Degaussing is exposing the hard drive to a magnetic field that will completely erase all stored data on the hard drive and permanently prevent the hard drive from recording again. A degausser is a device that generates a magnetic field that erases the hard drive or magnetic media. This method eliminates all data from your media, keeping you safe from potential security breaches and legal complications. We can furnish an electronically generated NIST-compliant destruction report for each job. After the electronic media is erased we crush the media.
Physical Destruction Without Degaussing
Physical destruction prevents the recovery of data stored on solid-state memory chips by shredding hard drive media chips into an average fragment size of less than 52 mm. Our hard drive shredders have a capacity of 1500 solid-state drives, 150 smart phones, 1500 CDs per hour, or 2000 USB thumb drives.
