Hard Drive/Solid State Drive Data Destruction

What is Hard Drive/Solid State Drive Data Destruction?

It is the process of destroying a hard drive or solid state drive can no longer be recovery. The drive may also be destroyed.

We offer 3 types of data destruction.

• Type 1

Type 1 involves physically destroying the drive by drilling through the drive in 3 spots this causes the disks within the drive not to spin properly causing more damage to the platters.

• Type 2 

Type 2 involves wiping the drive through Active KillDisk using DOD (Department of Defense) wiping standards. By doing this it wipes numerous 0 and 1 at random on the drive this makes the data unrecoverable. An example of the certificate the Active KillDisk generates can be seen at the right.
​

• Type 3

Type 3 involves a combination of both type 1 and type 2. Type 2 is performed 1st then type 1 is performed 2nd. You will receive a email with the wipe certificate to the right.

If destruction is not performed on the day it is dropped off it is placed in a secure cabinet to protect confidential information.
