Data protection should extend past shredding paper documents and include hard drive destruction. Hard drives contain an incredible amount of information from private files and images to passwords and financial data. Simply deleting your files will not ensure that your data is safe. Hackers can easily restore information and steal personal and proprietary documents.
Hard drive destruction uses permanent methods to destroy your information and prevent unauthorized access. It is the most effective form of data erasure, ensuring that no one will be able to access your data from that hard drive again. Record Nations partners with hard drive destruction experts to offer reliable and compliant services that protect your private information.
On average, hard drive shredding costs anywhere from $7–20 per drive. As quantity goes up, the price per drive will go down.
Types of Hard Drive Destruction
Record Nations offers hard drive destruction to keep your data safe. Both methods permanently destroy your hard drives to make recovery impossible.
Shedding
An industrial shredder cuts the hard drive into tiny pieces using thousands of pounds of force.
Crushing
A large hole is punched through the platter causing the magnetic surface to become deformed, rendering the hard drive useless.
The Importance of Hard Drive Destruction
It’s common to stockpile your old computers and hard drives when you are unsure what to do with them. You can’t throw them away and donating can put your information at risk. Holding on to your items isn’t a better solution. If someone were to gain access to your devices they could steal all kinds of valuable information.
