How To Destroy A Hard Drive - Video Of The Guardian Hard Drive Destroyer In Action

Facts About Hard Drive Destruction:

"By the end of 2002, one billion personal computers had been sold worldwide."

Penalties for not destroying electronic data can be huge (for example, in some states, up to $100/record compromised). 

This means, if you are a business that uses computers, you cannot safely 'ship off' hard drives for disposal....You need to see them disposed of first hand with a machine like The Guardian.

Companies need to have their hard drives destroyed to protect trade secrets, intellectual property, customer information, and other private information

For businesses that provide data security services and document shredding, this is an indespensible tool for getting new business.

Hard drives are removed, serial numbers are noted, hard drives are destroyed, and a certificate of destruction (with serial numbers) is issued.

Costs generally range from $5 - $20 per hard drive depending on location and whether or not the hard drive must be removed.

Here are some common ways people try to get rid of their PC hard drives & why they should use The Guardian Hard Drive Destroyer instead:

  1. Shipping a hard drive off to be destroyed is a major risk and leaves you open to liability. Witnessing it firsthand and getting a certificate will help.

  2. Using the delete key/recycle bin on your desktop doesn't erase data.

  3. Overwriting data with software is very time consuming and not 100% effective.

  4. Reformatting a disk drive requires you to have drive installed and powered up.

  5. New technology may soon make recovery of overwritten hard drives easier.  Who knows what technology will be available to criminals in the near future to use for data recovery?

  6. Degaussing (magnetic destruction) doesn't give visible proof of destruction and doesn't always work.  Also, the magnetic shielding on new disk drives is powerful and can be harmful to people near the magnetic fields.

  7. Hard drive shredding machines are loud, bulky, and break down.  Many of them are not portable so they can't be used for on-site hard drive destruction.

Destroying a hard drive is the best way to insure your data safety!
