What is the best way to destroy your hard drive?

Data removal from the operating system level is an ineffective method of data deletion from the medium, which is a hard drive. Nowadays, data recovery is not a problem. To permanently remove data from the HDD, you must use an effective and safe method – demagnetization. And how to destroy a hard disk? Ideally in a physical way, through its crushing, fragmentation or grinding. Demagnetization uses a special device, which is a degausser, generating a strong magnetic field, which disorganizes the magnetic domain setting of the carrier: it destroys, for example, servo information and calibration information. To remove data from...

Shipment preparation of ProDevice degausser

We would like to invite you to watch our new movie showing how the ProDevice ASM120 degausser is being prepared for shipment. The case and fixing bolts are sealed first. Then the device is packed and sent to the customer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_KBpE83iHA

Tesla coil in Faraday cage in our R&D center

We would like to invite you to watch the movie, which shows the Tesla coil (otherwise known as the Tesla transformer), which is the equipment of our R & D center. The device was invented and originally constructed about 100 years ago by the Croatian scientist Nicolas Tesla. The coil creates a huge voltage and allows you to watch an amazing spectacle – spectacular lightnings. See our device in action. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTOnaoITWeg

Measurement of magnetic flux density – ASM240 degausser

Device for data destruction – the ProDevice ASM240 degausser generates an electromagnetic field of max 22 000 gauss (2.2T). This means that it is the strongest degausser in the world. A parameter with these values ​​guarantees that all data stored on the media is permanently deleted by the device. We remind you that the degausserr removes information from magnetic media: tapes and hard drives. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJxN1O-Q590

Degaussing of disks means data removal with a degausser

What should we do if there is a need to delete data from a magnetic storage, such as a hard disk? Above all, remember that many traditional methods of data destruction are so ineffective that the majority of the information stored on the disk or tape can be recovered. And the necessity of irretrievable deletion of data from carriers withdrawn from use, transferred for liquidation or repair is required by the relevant legal regulations. One of the really safe and reliable methods of erasing data from HDD is demagnetization, made by specialized equipment – demagnetizer / degausser. Devices of this...

DIN 66399 standards – What you should know!

The new DIN 66399 replaces the hitherto DIN 32757. The most significant changes are: Three classification levelsA risk analysis shall be carried out for the data carriers and the data contained assigned to one of the three classification levels. The classification level determines the security level which is chosen for the destruction of the data carriers. Six material categoriesFor the first time the norm defines different material classifications, also reflecting the size of the information presented on the data carrier (paper documents, optical, magnetic or electronic data carriers and hard drives). Seven security levelsInstead of the previous five security levels,...

Data removal with ProDevice ASM120 degausser

When choosing a degausser, it should be remembered that not every device guarantees effective removal of data from a disk or magnetic tape. The strength of the electromagnetic field generated by the device must be sufficiently strong – then we are sure that the data will be erased. If you are really pressed for time., it’s a good idea to choose a model that works automatically, which will take up to 30 seconds to degauss the drive. We encourage you to watch a short video showing the process of removing data from HDD disks with the ProDevice ASM120 degausser. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40LUUieg-QA...

How to destroy media physically?

One of the methods of removing data from storage media is their physical destruction. Before it, you can degauss media. Currently, physical destruction is the best way to remove information from SSD – from this type of disks, you can’t delete data with the help of degausser. Media shredders / destroyers are devices that damage the disk, tape, mobile phone or tablet in a physical way. Such devices perforate, crush the carrier or grind it into small pieces. There are manual and automatic shredders available on the market. The first of them for proper operation require only the strength of...
