Hard Drive & SSD Destruction
Secure destruction for hard drives, SSDs, NVMe, flash media and backup tapes, from a few hundred drives to tens of thousands. Every drive is tracked by serial number and destroyed in line with NIST 800-88, with a Certificate of Destruction for your records.
When this applies
Drive refreshes, failed drive stockpiles, RMA returns that cannot leave your control, retired storage arrays and any media that has held customer, financial, health or proprietary data.

FAQ
Is degaussing enough for SSDs?
No. Degaussing does not work on SSDs or flash media. These are physically shredded to a small particle size.
Can you shred drives on site?
Yes. Mobile shred trucks can destroy drives at your facility while your team watches.
Do you scan serial numbers?
Yes. Drives can be scanned at pickup and at destruction so each serial is matched to a destruction record.
Is there a minimum quantity?
We focus on volume projects, but contact us with your count and we will quote it.
