Do you operate a business that works with sensitive information? For example, a bank or government contractor? You know that you need to keep all kinds of information fully secure from the prying eyes in order to maintain the confidentiality of your clients and customers. But what happens when the computer you use to store all the information on is either upgraded or fails? You may not be aware, but all of the information on the hard drive of that computer is still there, even if the computer no longer turns on.
Hard drives work the way they do because they store the information magnetically on a series of platters. The magnetization of the platters remains in place essentially forever, unless the information is overwritten. Even trying to erase the drive is not actually all that effective. Some of the data may still be accessible to someone who lays their hands on the drive. The only sure way to wipe all trace of the data is to use a hard drive destroyer.
A hard drive destroyer physically destroys the drive. So, think of it as a paper shredder for a hard drive. It breaks the drive into pieces that are impossible to put back together. Only when you put a hard drive through a destroyer, there is absolutely no way of rebuilding it, unlike a paper shredder. Using this method will securely eliminate any threat of retrieving the sensitive information from the drive.
