Why is shredding the only way to destroy an SSD securely?
SSDs use complex flash memory structures that retain data even after standard wiping procedures. Only physical shredding that breaks the device into fine particles guarantees that every chip is destroyed and the data is 100% irrecoverable.
Is Degaussing effective on Solid State Drives?
No. Degaussing uses magnetism and is only effective on magnetic media like HDDs and tapes. It has zero effect on the flash memory used in SSDs. Shredding is the required method.
Do you record the serial numbers of the destroyed SSDs?
Yes. Upon request, we can log the serial number of every Solid State Drive destroyed and include this detailed list on your Certificate of Destruction for strict asset management records.
Can you shred both the SSDs and the metal casing/chassis?
Yes. Our industrial shredders are designed to process the entire device, including the plastic and metal casings, ensuring a seamless and comprehensive destruction process.
How small are the particles after the SSD is shredded?
Our process breaks the SSDs down into small fragments that meet or exceed industry standards for secure destruction, ensuring the size of the remaining particles makes data reconstruction impossible.
