A new shredder to prevent data breaches
Posted on Sep 11, 2008 by Tom Fragala
CSO magazine has an article and very cool video about a company that literally shreds hard drives, like you would shred paper (although the shredder is just a bit more beefy).
The heart of Corporate Destruction Solutions is a blue beast of a machine that sits on the back of a small white truck James drives from one customer to the next.
After recording the hard drive serial number, he drops the small metal slabs into a slot atop the machine, and from a TV monitor he can watch the drives falling between steel grinders. Sparks erupt from the hard drives as they're torn to pieces. At the end of the process, all one can see on the monitor is smoke and tiny fragments of metal. The machine spits the remains into a bucket, and the shrapnel is then sent off for recycling
Video. Watch for the sparks and smoke.
