Proton PDS-100 Hard Drive Destroyer/Crusher

The Proton PDS-100 Hard Drive Destroyer/Crusher has an automatic, motor driven operation. It handles all 3.5" Form Factor Hard Disk Drives including 1", 0.65" and laptop hard drives. To use the Proton PDS-100 hard drive crusher, insert the hard drive and the sensors will automatically start an 8 second cycle. The PDS-100 Destroyer has a unique feature enabling the ability to operate manually in case of power interruption or failure, by simply grabbing the crank handle to continue destroying the hard drives. 

Please note: To comply with recognised standards, including NSA/DoD regulations, a degausser must be used prior to destroying hard drives. Using a degausser is the only way to guarantee all data is complelety unrecoverable from the hard drives and other magnetic media. Please see Proton's Degaussers here to save on a degausser and destroyer bundle.

PSD-100 Hard Drive Destroyer Features

• Compact and rugged design is portable and easily deployable.
• Automatic cycle provides fast, safe and reliable hard drive destruction in 10 seconds or less.
• Can operate with or without power (manually for emergency situations).
• The PDS-100 Hard Drive Crusher can process 2.5″ Form Factor Laptop Drives. It comes with a holder that allows the operator to stow the supports when not in use. The magnetic mounting enables mounting on the back, side, or front of the destroyer, whichever suites the operator.
• Hard drives are bent approximately 90 degrees, which bends/breaks the platters and damages the heads, motor and circuit board.
• Maintenance free and completely self-contained. No messy fluids or external components to deal with and no adjustments or calibration necessary.
• Tested and used by NSA and DoD for destroying hard drives.
• Customization is easy with additional options.

Optional Extras/Accessories

• Rear Output Slide: Hard drives are typically removed from the front of the unit, but this option allows for the ejection of the hard drives out the back of the unit. This enables hard drives to be discharged into a disposal bin or container and requires less operator handling.
• Rackmountable Slide-out Shelf: For mounting in standard 19″ EIA racks. This option allows the user to conveniently stow the destroyer when not in use and pull it out when needed, saving all too valuable table-top space. This option includes the Mount Kit.
• Mount Kit: This option allows the user to mount the drive destroyer to various surfaces, including carts, truck floors, racks, etc.
• Deployment Case: A heavy duty Pelican® Case with wheels with custom insert made specifically for the destroyer.
