EDR Solutions: Hard Disk Crusher

If you have some old formatted hard drives that you want destroyed so that none of the sensitive data can be recovered then the Hard Disk Crusher from EDR solutions is what you need.

The crusher weighs in at 6 stones so although it’s not a light weight gadget is it extremely effective. With a working capacity of one hard drive every ten seconds and a service interval after every 100,000 hard disks then its unlikely to need any servicing in your lifetime.

The cost? Well it’s not cheap retailing at £5,750, however it makes you think how valuable your data is should it end up in the wrong hands. Personally with the limited number of hard drives I own I would go down the hitting the hard disk with a hammer multiple times route, however larger corporations with large numbers of used hard drives gathering dust may find this gadget useful.
