PDS-75 HARD DRIVE DESTROYER

NSA/CSS Evaluated and Listed for destruction of 1″, 0.65″, 1.65″ & Laptop Hard Drives

The PDS-75 is designed to physically destroy all standard hard drives without the use of power in 8 seconds or less. Insert the hard drive into the slot and crank the handle 8 rotations to destroy the drive. After the process is finished the hard drive is ejected into the front debris drawer; an optional rear output chute is also available.

Product Details:

Compact and rugged design is portable and easily deployable.
Less than 8 second cycle time provides fast, safe and reliable hard drive destruction.
Specifically designed for emergency situations where power may not be available and quick destruction is required.
Provides a green energy saving solution for hard drive destruction.
Hard drives are bent approximately 90 degrees, which bends/breaks the platers and damages the heads, motor and circuit board.
Maintenance free and completely self-contained. No messy fluids or external components to deal with and no adjustments or calibration necessary.

Tested and used by the NSA and DoD for destroying hard drives.

Laptop carrier included – allows for destruction of 2.5″ form factor laptop drives. Customization is easy (see options)

NOTE: To comply with recognized standards, including NSA/DoD regulations, a degausser must be used prior to destroying hard drives. In a typical national security operation, a destroyer is used in conjunction with a NSA-approved degausser. Using adegausser is the only way to guarantee all data on hard drives and other magnetic media is completely unrecoverable. This is because it is possible to recover data from a mere piece of a hard drive that has not been degaussed.
