The PD-8700 is
designed to provide a safe, convenient and effective method of
destroying confidential information contained on hard drives. The
PD-8700 degausses and then physically destroys the hard drive ensuring
that the information previously contained on the hard drive is
permanently erased and destroyed.
The PD-8700 meets compliance standards for government mandates requiring
complete elimination of private and confidential information stored on
hard drives prior to disposal
The PD-8700 is actually two machines in one.
First, it is a powerful degausser rated at 10,000 gauss. Secondly, it is a
Physical Hard Drive Destroyer that pierces holes into the data platters
rendering the hard drive physically unusable. For flexibility, the PD-8700
allows the user to chose between “Auto” mode - performs both degauss and
destroy modes, “Erase” mode or Destroy mode.
The Erase mode of the PD-8700 features a degaussing force of 10,000 gauss
and a large tray size to accommodate today's high coercivity drives as well
as older, larger sized hard drives. Stored energy is quickly released to
produce short, focused erasing fields that penetrate through the hard drive
housing, changing the magnetic properties contained on the data disk
platters.
Because the PD-8700's erasing field is many times stronger than the writing
and erasing heads inside the hard drive, the PD-8700 will provide superior
erasure over re-write programs that rely on the hard drive's internal write
heads
The Destruction mode of the PD-8700 is
designed to physically disable the hard drive, preventing data from being
recovered. The physical destruction visibly identifies hard drives that have
been properly sanitized.
The PD-8700 accommodates all formats and sizes of hard drives up to 4.5"
wide and 1.66" high. The PD-8700 does not rely on software, therefore it
will erase all operating systems. In addition, degaussing is the only way of
erasing hard drives that are not functioning.
New security and privacy mandates now require complete erasure of media
containing sensitive and confidential information prior to the re-use or
disposal of the media.
Features:
Fast, safe, clean erasure and destruction in one machine.
Simple one button operation.
Conveniently operates from a 120 VAC outlet.
Compact and quite design easily operates in any office
environment.
