How Does Secure Hard Drive Destruction Work with ADR AG's Degausser Devices?

With ADR AG's high-quality degaussers (demagnetizers), you can securely destroy your storage media and the data they contain. Our range includes both manual and automatic degaussers, ensuring that your outdated hard drives are disposed of according to the highest security standards.

Degausser devices use powerful electromagnetic pulses to destroy data on storage media. Once this process is complete, the data is irretrievably lost, and the storage device becomes unusable. Advanced Digital Research offers the ideal solution for permanently removing sensitive data from storage devices and ensuring secure destruction. Secure file and media destruction is crucial to prevent unauthorized access.

Compliance with the DIN 66399 standard ensures that the destruction of hard drives and other storage media meets the highest security standards. Complete destruction of the entire hard drive is necessary to protect sensitive data. Degaussing hard drives is a vital method for irreversible data destruction, as simple procedures like deleting or formatting often do not guarantee full data security. Secure destruction of hardware, particularly HDDs and USB sticks, is essential to protect your confidential information.

Our Selection for Secure Hard Drive Destruction:

Datagone - Fully Automatic Degausser for Secure Hard Drive Destruction

The DATAGONE is a fully automatic degausser that erases hard drives and backup tapes in less than one second. An effective alternative method for data destruction is shredding, which physically compromises the integrity of the media, thereby minimizing the risk of data misuse. It is particularly suitable for organizations that prioritize security, as users only need to insert the hard drives, and the rest happens automatically. The progress is displayed on an LCD panel. In case of interruptions, the media remains in the device, and the user is notified. The entire process takes about 8 seconds. After erasure, hard drives and some backup tapes are no longer reusable. The DATAGONE is manufactured by VS Security Products and is recommended by the National Institute of Standards & Technology, the Department of Defense, and GCHQ.

SV91M - Degausser for Tapes and Hard Drives

The Verity Systems SV91M degausser is a quiet, manually operated high-performance demagnetizer suitable for various storage media. There are many ways to access confidential data today, so it is important to use effective data deletion methods. It erases tapes in 12 seconds and hard drives in three minutes, suitable for DLT, DAT, and PC hard drives. With 7.000 Gauss and a throughput of 20 hard drives or 40 tapes per hour, it offers cost-effective degaussing.

V91 Max - Manual Hard Drive and Tape Degausser

The manual V91 HDD Max degausser is a powerful second-generation demagnetizer designed for complete data destruction and secure elimination of hard drives and backup tapes. With a strong magnetic field of 7.000 Gauss, it erases data in just 12 seconds per medium. To ensure complete data security, it is crucial to destroy the entire hard drive, as this irreversibly destroys all mechanical and electronic components. This cost-effective device is ideal for users with low volumes who need a reliable solution for secure degaussing and data destruction.

SDP-01 - Simultaneous Destruction of Two Hard Drives

The SDP-01 can destroy two hard drives simultaneously. An effective alternative method for physical data destruction is hard drive shredding, which excludes third-party access to personal data. It meets strict security requirements and laws for deleting confidential digital information. With an intensity of 12.500 Gauss, it quickly and evenly erases hard drives. the SDP-01 can process either 2 hard drives (8.9 cm) or 8 hard drives (6.35 cm) with a total capacity of up to 4 TB per cycle, handling up to 800 media devices per hour. Despite its high performance, the SDP-01 is compact and lightweight, making it easy to transport and operate. An optional barcode kit can be added for documenting destroyed media.

SDP-02 - Secure Destruction of Your Hard Drives with 16.000 Gauss

The SDP-02 degausser can also destroy two hard drives simultaneously and erase data from storage devices with high coercivity. Hard drive destruction is an essential measure for irrevocably deleting data, as simple methods like deletion, formatting, or degaussing may not provide complete security. With a magnetic field strength of 16.000 Gauss, it surpasses the recommendations of modern media device manufacturers (6.000 - 7.000 Gauss). It can erase either 2 hard drives (8.9 cm) or 8 hard drives (6.35 cm) simultaneously, processing up to 400 media devices per hour. After the erasure process, the data is not recoverable. The SDP-02 operates autonomously with a built-in PC and features a user-friendly 7-inch touchscreen LCD. Despite its high performance, it remains compact and easy to transport.
