Proton PDS-75 Hard Drive Destroyer/Crusher

The Proton PDS-75 Hard Drive Destroyer is a hard drive crusher designed to quickly and securely destroy hard drives in 8 seconds or less. The PDS-75 is manually driven and simple to use by inserting the hard drive into the safety slot then using the handle to crush the hard drive. This process bends the hard drive approximately 90 degrees which breaks the platters and damages the heads, motor and circuit board. At the end of this process, the hard drive is ejected into the front debris drawer.

To comply with recognised standards, a degausser must be used prior to destroyng hard drives to guarantee all data on hard drives and other magnetic media is completely unrecoverable. See Proton's range of degaussers here to save on a degausser and destroyer bundle.
