These days, several different kinds of media devices can store data collected by banks, governments, and many organizations. Blu ray, an extremely popular disc format, currently supports about 200 companies who are world leaders in multimedia, consumer electronics and personal computers. You can use it for both re-writeable as well as WORM (write once, read many times) data. As a result, it is becoming a high-quality solution to some of the data center industry’s most pressing concerns. This makes it ideal for storing information in its original state; however, data on WORM discs cannot be modified – only the disk itself can be destroyed.
The destruction of this property is the company’s responsibility. At least 31 states have passed laws to make it a requirement to destroy, dispose or otherwise make personal information unreadable. Penalties for not abiding by these can sometimes cost dearly. Especially if, under certain circumstances, consumers can file civil suits against those who unwittingly commit an offense.
To help avoid this, getting a blu ray crusher, a safe and reliable means of disposal, should be a top priority. Other companies will recommend using less secure sanitization methods such as grinding, embossing and file deletion. These are not always effective, especially since modern forensic techniques can sometimes recover data. Disintegration provides the most dependable and secure technique for complete physical destruction. With our MediaDice® – Optical Media Destroyer, you can be assured of proper disposal with the capacity to handle 500 – 700 discs per hour.
