In today’s technological age, more information is being stored electronically on hard drives than ever before.  Making sure that electronic data is destroyed and is unreadable upon completion of its lifecycle is an important component to any information security program.

Infoshred provides a confidential hard drive destruction service to physically destroy all information stored electronically. Infoshred can process hard drives that are contained in computer towers or hard drives that have already been removed from a computer or server.

Infoshred applies the same secure procedures to Hard Drive Destruction that we do to our hard copy paper shredding services:

  • Uniformed Infoshred Drivers will arrive at the customer site with an Infoshred truck.

  • Before it is destroyed, hard drives must be attended by a company employee or physically secured from unauthorized access while in the custody of the Infoshred security professional.

  • The Infoshred driver will verify hard drive physical count prior to obtaining customer signature and record number of hard drives on sales order.

  • The material scheduled for destruction is always contained in a locked truck. Infoshred’s trucks lock automatically eliminating any human error and are equipped with Babaco alarm systems and GPS Vehicle Tracking Systems.

  • Upon return to our facility, the hard drive serial numbers will be scanned, re-verifying the count.  A log of the serial numbers shall be kept on-file at Infoshred and a copy provided to the customer.

  • All hard drives shall be physically destroyed via shredding by an Amerishred AMS 7500 shredder.

  • A certificate of hard drive destruction shall be provided to the customer.

Why Professional Hard Drive Destruction Matters

You might be wondering, "Can't I just toss my old hard drive in the trash?" Well, not if you value your data security. Here's why professional hard drive destruction is so important:

  • Hard drives are surprisingly durable and can often survive physical damage
  • Data can be recovered from drives that appear to be non-functional
  • Improper disposal could lead to significant legal and financial consequences

SSD Shredding: Because Even Solid State Drives Need Secure Disposal

Solid State Drives (SSDs) have become increasingly popular, but they present their own unique challenges when it comes to data destruction. Our SSD shredding service ensures that your data is truly gone for good. Here’s what you need to know:

  • SSDs store data differently than traditional hard drives
  • Standard deletion methods often leave recoverable data behind
  • Our specialized SSD destruction process ensures complete data elimination
