Data pirates are lurking everywhere these days and they’ve found a new target, improperly disposed or recycled media systems. Many businesses spend outrageous amounts of money on data security, yet they overlook their biggest vulnerability. Here is a list of popular solid state data destruction methods and their weaknesses:
Folding: This method completely destroys all data along the bend line; however, it is possible to recover data from sectors along the outside edges.
Piercing: Obliterates all data around the puncture holes, but leaves data between holes and on outside edges recoverable.
Plunging: Like piercing, data around the hole is completely destroyed, leaving data on the outside edges of the platters in recoverable condition.
Phiston Technologies has researched this problem extensively and has come up with a way to achieve total solid state data destruction. Our line of MediaVise SSD systems can make sure to safely remove data. These systems crush, warp as well as mangle data platters resulting in a mass of recyclable material that not even forensic means can find data on.
The MediaVise SSD is the only hard drive destruction system that uses interlocking, corrugated, hardened steel plates. These plates attack the whole system, not just certain areas. Employing massive amounts of pressure, the Media Vise system is the only system available that can produce the force necessary to damage hard drives, casing, read/write heads, circuit boards, as well as platters. With 40,000 pounds of crushing force, it destroys all components in one crushing cycle for quick efficient drive destruction; therefore, keeping you and your customers safe from piracy and identity theft.
