Disposing unwanted hard disk drives needs more of your effort. Simply wiping off the data on the unwanted drives using software is not an effective way. As the data are still recoverable, which means your highly confidential and sensitive business data will likely fall into the hands of your rivals.
The best approach to destroy the data on a hard drive is to physically destroy the hard disk drive itself. Such as using a simple yet effective tool called Bust-A-Drive, you’re able to mangle those unwanted hard drives, making all the data on the drives virtually unreadable and unrecoverable.
The Bust-A-Drive has a hydraulic punch, which physically deforms a hard drive, making all the data on the drive virtually unreadable and unrecoverable. The Bustadrive costs $325, a reasonable price which should pay itself after a few permanent deletions.
