{"title":"Hard Drive Destroyers \u0026 Crushers","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter secure degaussing, using a hard drive destroyer is the best way to securely destroy all data on a hard drive. The current line of PDS hard drive destroyer machines offer fast, portable destruction. They break the magnetic media platter and bend the drives ninety degrees. The PDS drive destroyer line is currently listed on the Evaluated Products List (EPL).  It is a highly secure means of second stage drive destruction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend checkout out our line of hard drive degaussers to pair with these HDD destroyers. For a fully portable operation, pair our 1100 portable wand degausser with the manual PDS-75 drive destroyer machine. For more muscle, pair our patented Reverse Polarity technology T-4 with the PDS-100. All of these devices will effectively erase a hard drive and then destroy it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProton Data is here to serve you with every facet of hard drive destruction, and the latest in hard drive destroyer technology.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"pds-75-hdd-destroyer-crusher","title":"PDS-75 HDD Destroyer\/Crusher","description":"\u003ch2\u003ePDS-75 Manual Hard Drive Crusher\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe PDS-75 is an NSA listed hard drive crusher that is designed to destroy hard drives in 8 seconds or less (dependent on operator). The manual PDS-75 is not only manually driven, but it is also simple to use. Just insert the hard drive into the safety slot. Then use the handle to crush the hard drive. During this process the hard drive is bent approximately 90 degrees, which breaks the platters and damages the heads, motor and circuit board.
