What Is Hard Drive Punching?
Immediate, Physical, Definitive Destruction
Hard Drive Punching is a secure process that uses a high-force hydraulic punch to pierce the aluminium or glass platters inside a hard drive. This physical trauma permanently damages the read/write heads, shatters the magnetic storage surfaces, and physically destroys the drive’s ability to ever store or retrieve data again. It is a highly effective and visually verifiable method of data destruction.

Your On-Site Data Security F.A.Q.s
Can you punch the hard drives while they are still in their servers or PCs?
No. The hard drives must be physically removed from their enclosures (servers, PCs, or NAS units) before they can be placed into the specialised hard drive punching machine.
