MediaVise: one of the data crushers offered by Phiston Technologies

As you know, unsecured data on old hard drives and other electronic data storage devices sent for disposal or recycling without complete erasure can lead to piracy and identity theft. According to a February posting from Green Business Matters, many electronic disposal companies ship electronic waste to third-world countries such as Ghana and cities in China. An estimated nine million pounds of electronic waste was disposed of in 2012. This number will grow by 33 percent by 2020. When electronic waste makes its way to these third-world countries, computers are often sold for parts. Hard drives are particularly valuable on the black market, often purchased by identity thieves.

If you’re considering the various data crushers that can give you peace of mind that the data on your old electronic storage devices will never fall into the wrong hands, consider Phiston’s MediaVise. At 160 pounds, MediaVise can apply 40,000 pounds of force. This is enough to destroy the well-protected platters and read heads and completely mangle a hard drive, rendering it unreadable. The collection drawer allows for the destruction of 12-15 desktop hard drives, or 20-30 laptop hard drives before you need to remove destroyed media. MediaVise can also destroy old cell phones, as well as DLT and LTO tapes.

Standing 25″ tall and 12″ wide, MediaVise is small enough to use at your workplace. Destruction is fast. It takes about 30 seconds. With simple power cord operation, the machine is fully automatic and hands-free for your safety and convenience. For those who have even less space but want a powerful data crusher, the MediaVise Compact is also available. It is small enough to fit on top of a desk.
