The PDS-75 is an NSA listed crusher that is designed to destroy hard drives in 8 seconds or less (dependent on operator). The manual PDS-75 is not only manually driven, but it is also simple to use. Just insert the hard drive into the safety slot. Then use the handle to crush the hard drive. During this process the hard drive is bent approximately 90 degrees, which breaks the platters and damages the heads, motor and circuit board. After the process has finished, the hard drive will be ejected into the front debris drawer. The PDS series exudes versatility with low maintenance and easy operation.

Introducing the Proton Data Security Hard Drive Crusher Series. Let's start with the PDS75 manual hard drive crushing unit. The PDS75 is an NSA listed crusher that is designed to destroy hard drives in 8 seconds or less.
This is the base product of the PDS hard drive crushing series. It's not only manually driven, but it's also simple to use. Just insert the hard drive into the safety slot.
Then, use the handle to crush the drive. During this 8 second process, the hard drive is bent approximately 90 degrees, which breaks the platters and damages the heads, motor, and circuit board. There's even a pull out from the front debris door, which will allow you to clean the unit and dispose of any extra hard drive particles.
The PDS75, along with its companions in the PDS crusher series, have several different customization options to fit for any application. Some of the few features this offers are laptop slides, which will allow the destroyer to process 2.5 inch laptop drives. The support swaps takes approximately 10 seconds, and it comes with a holder that allows the operator to store the supports when not in use.
A deployment case is also available for the PDS75 and the other hard drive crusher models. This is a heavy duty pelican case with wheels, and custom insert that's made specifically for the use of the PDS75 and the other hard drive crushing units. Thank you for watching the PDS75 manual hard drive crushing unit from Proton Data Security.
