Proton PDS-88 Solid State Multimedia Drive Shredder
Enter the Proton PDS-88 Solid State™ Media Shredder, a device that promises to seamlessly blend the power of industrial shredders with the convenience of office equipment. But does it live up to the hype? Let's dive in.
Meeting Global Standards
One of the standout features of the Proton PDS-88 is its compliance with several global standards. Meeting the requirements of NIST, HIPPA, ISO, and PCI, it also aligns with DoD guidelines for sanitizing unclassified government data. The CE Approval further solidifies its position as a trusted tool for data destruction.
A Fusion of Power and Convenience
Labeling the Proton PDS-88 merely as an office shredder would be an understatement. It's a hybrid, combining the best elements of office shredders, disintegrators, and industrial shredders. This means users get the raw power of industrial machines packed into a design suitable for an office setting.
Versatility in Media Destructions
The Proton PDS-88 isn't just about shredding paper. Its capabilities extend to a range of media:
- CDs/DVDs: Even in the digital age, many companies still store data on optical media.
- USB Drives: A common storage medium, and often a source of data breaches.
- Mobile Devices: From smartphones to mini-tablets, the shredder handles them all.
- Credit Cards: With identity theft on the rise, the ability to shred credit cards is a boon.
User-Friendly Design
The PDS-88 isn't just about brute force; it's designed with the user in mind. The control panel, conveniently located at the top, is intuitive and easy to navigate. The dual chutes – one large media flap and a smaller media chute – ensure flexibility in media insertion.
Safety hasn't been compromised either. The transparent chute covers not only allow users to watch the destruction process but also ensure that there are no safety hazards during operation.
Office-Ready and Efficient
Gone are the days when companies needed to allocate large spaces for bulky industrial shredders. The PDS-88's design is compact enough to fit into an office copy room. Plus, its compatibility with standard electrical outlets means there's no need for specialized wiring or setups. Simply plug in, feed the media, and watch the magic happen.
