Erasing or Degaussing your hard drive is not enough to protect your information from getting into the wrong hands, you must physically destroy the hard drive to prevent access to your information.

When you have been in the data security industry as long as Time Shred has, you’ve seen it all. Unfortunately, far too many risks are both knowingly and unknowingly taken with confidential paper and digital data every day. The bad guys are always lurking, ready to take advantage.

Physical Destruction of Your Hard Drive: The Only True Data Breach Defense

The typical hard drive is a treasure trove of personal and corporate data that can be illegally used, sold and exposed. A single hard drive can hold the same amount of data as a truckload full of paper documents or more, and it can be spread around the world in seconds.

Even if you’ve “deleted” your files before disposing of your old computers, the data most often remains accessible to hackers and identity thieves. The only way to secure your electronic data and your own peace of mind is to physically destroy your hard drives with Time Shred Services, your trusted AAA Certified hard drive destruction service.

How Your Hard Drives Are Destroyed

Time Shred’s powerful hard drive destruction equipment is designed to destroy your hard drives so that the information on them can never be accessed or recovered again. Only the physical destruction will guarantee that your digital information is permanently destroyed. The permanent destruction of your information on a hard drive can be accomplished with either one of these certified methods:

Hard Drive Shredding – Our commercial shredders cut your hard drives into many small fragments that make it impossible to retrieve the information ever again.  The process completely destroys the entire hard drive.  If you have a solid-state drive the shredding process will completely destroy the hard drive so the flash controller and the memory chips will also be destroyed so the data can never be accessed again.

Crushing Hard Drives – Crushing means the hard drive is placed in our manual crusher where it bends and shatters the hard drive platter so that it is not possible to recover stored information again.

Our Hard Drive Disposal Process

• We come to your location to destroy your hard drives on-site.
• We record the serial numbers of each hard drive before destruction.
• We use our powerful Hard Drive Shredder or Crusher to render your data completely not recoverable.
• After shredding or crushing, the pulverized pieces of your hard drive are recycled and the raw materials are used to make new products.
• We provide Certificates of Destruction listing each hard drive, including the serial numbers we recorded before destruction.

Forget eWaste Recycling Events

eWaste recycling events are great for TVs, monitors, and DVD players, but a hard drive should never be handed over to a recycling company until it’s been destroyed. Even if you have deleted all files, reformatted the drive, etc., your data is still there to be found by people who make their living stealing valuable information from hard drives like yours. Your data deserves the real protection that only Time Shred Services can offer.

Time Shred’s Hard Drive Destruction is available as a stand-alone service or can be added to a paper shredding service as an a la carte item.
