PDS-75 NSA Approved Manual Hard Drive Destroyer
The Proton Hard Drive Destroyer PDS-75 model, stands out as a beacon of hope in this realm. Designed to obliterate hard drives swiftly and securely, it's a tool that every organization should consider. But what makes it so special?
Rapid and Reliable Destruction
Imagine being in an emergency situation where there's no electric power, and you need to destroy sensitive data immediately. That's where the PDS-75 shines. It's not just about destruction; it's about doing it quickly and reliably. With a cycle time of less than 8 seconds, you can be assured that your data won't fall into the wrong hands.
Affordability and Versatility: a Combo Hard to Beat
Whether you're a government agency or a commercial entity, budget constraints are real. The PDS-75 doesn’t just offer top-notch performance; it does so without burning a hole in your pocket. Plus, with its customization options, it can be tailored to fit any location or application.
The Importance of Degaussing
Before you go about crushing those hard drives, there's a step you shouldn't miss: degaussing. It's the only way to ensure that data on hard drives and storage tapes is completely unrecoverable. And guess what? The PDS-75 pairs perfectly with a Proton degausser, making it a formidable duo in data destruction.
Manual Hard Drive Crusher: Simplicity at its Best
The PDS-75 isn't just about brute force; it's about doing it the right way. As an NSA listed hard drive crusher, it's designed with precision. The manual operation might sound old-school, but it offers simplicity and effectiveness. Insert the hard drive, use the handle, and voila! The hard drive is bent, the platters are broken, and the data is gone for good.
Green Energy Solution: Because We Care
In today's world, being eco-friendly isn't just a choice; it's a responsibility. The PDS-75 doesn't just destroy hard drives; it does so while being a "green" energy-saving solution. It's a win-win!
