Hard drive destruction
Hard drives hold a lot of information and they need to be destroyed when they are no longer needed.
Hard Drive Destruction- On-site or Offsite It’s Up To You
A1 DATASHRED provides certified hard drive shredding services to Boston that guarantees the information on your hard drives will never be accessible again.
A single hard drive can contain millions of pages of confidential information. When hard drives reach the end of their life cycle it is important to make sure that the confidential information on them is destroyed. Formatting or degaussing hard drives, tapes, and other magnetic media is not enough. This practice does not guarantee that all of the information has been destroyed. The only way to make sure the information can never be accessed again is to physically destroy each hard drive.
On-site hard drive destruction.
We’ll come directly to your location. Your hard drives are shredded before we leave your home or office. On-site hard drive shredding is very secure because you have the option to see the destruction of each hard drive as it occurs.
Off-site hard drive destruction.
When you don’t have the time or space to have your hard drives destroyed at your site we can securely take them to our secure facility to shred your hard drives. Your hard drives will be protected for the trip back to our facility in sealed containers and a locked truck. Your hard drives will be destroyed soon after arriving at our facility and we will provide you with a certificate of destruction that will list each hard drive by serial number.
