HDD DATA DESTRUCTION

Hard Disk Drive Sanitization and Physical Destruction

Select data erasure, degaussing or physical destruction according to drive condition, reuse objectives and security risk.

Three different outcomes

Verified overwrite may retain reuse potential on functioning drives. Degaussing applies a sufficiently strong magnetic field to compatible magnetic media and generally makes a drive unusable. Physical destruction damages the media so that recovery is not reasonably practicable under the defined risk model.

Verification matters

A powered-off or non-booting drive is not evidence of sanitization. Project records should identify the selected method, execution result, exceptions and asset identity.
