Our Specialized Destruction Equipment

The Garner PD-5 is listed with the NSA as qualified equipment to destroy hard drives, mobile and solid state storage devices to their stringent NSA/CSS SDDM 9-12 standard. It physically destroys hard drives be bending, breaking, and mangling the hard drive and its internal components including the data platters.

Using a rugged, stainless steel crushing wedge, the PD-5 bends the data platters, preventing the hard drive to "spinning up" or the hard disk platters from being removed and placed on a spin stand used in a laboratory data recovering process. The PD-5 finishs the job by cracking the hard drive housing, break the PC board, and smashes the read-write heads.
