Hard drive crusher
The new Model 0101 Sledgehammer Hard Drive Crusher is designed to destroy all computer hard drives regardless of their size, format or type, including 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch technology. A single drive (or multiple laptop/ notebook drives) is placed in the crusher, the safety door is closed, and at the touch of a button a conical punch inside the unit delivers 12,000 pounds of hydraulic force, causing catastrophic trauma to the hard drive’s chassis while destroying its internal platter. Destruction takes only 10 seconds.
Quick, quiet and clean, the Sledgehammer makes it easy for offices, hospitals, data centres and other facilities to destroy large quantities of confidential/ sensitive information in a timely manner in accordance with various government regulations and industry standards (HIPAA, FACTA, SOX, PCI DSS, etc.). The Sledgehammer also satisfies U.S. National Security Agency requirements for physical destruction of drives after they have been degaussed by an NSA-listed degausser.
The Sledgehammer is compact, portable (22- x 10- x 19-inch), only 105 pounds and virtually vibration-free. A standard 120V wall outlet is adequate for its extremely low power consumption. To protect operators, a safety interlock prevents the unit from functioning when the door is open, while an emergency stop button halts operation.
