PHYSICAL DISK DESTRUCTION
Although the secure erasure of hard drives and verification allow for the refurbishment and reuse of data assets, there are times when hard disk drives need to be physically destroyed.
Old hard drives, faulty drives, or hard drives that fail erasure need to be physically destroyed to maintain customer data confidentiality. Glasgow Computer Recycling offers the service of specialised hard drive shredding that can completely shred HDDs to 6mm pieces. Certification of Destruction is issued, showing the serial numbers of all hard drives processed.
Specialised hard drive destruction equipment can be brought to your premises to carry out onsite hard drive destruction, ensuring the drives are destroyed before leaving the site.

- Hard drive shredding to 18mm or 6mm

TAPE DESTRUCTION
Redundant DLT and LTO backup tapes hold company information including sensitive data. These data-holding assets need secure and specialised disposal once redundant.
