Product Description

The PDS-100 takes physical hard drive destruction one step further than the PDS-75 by providing an automatic, motor driven operation. Simply insert the hard drive and sensors will automatically start an eight (8) second cycle. A unique feature of the PDS-100 is its ability to operate manually if power is ever interrupted or unavailable. Simply grab the crank handle to continue securely destroying hard drives. No stoppage or setup necessary.

NOTE: To comply with recognized standards, including NSA/DoD regulations, a degausser must be used prior to destroying hard drives. In a typical national security operation, a destroyer is used in conjunction with a NSA approved degausser. Using a degausser is the only way to guarantee all data on hard drives and other magnetic media is completely unrecoverable. This is because it is possible to recover data from a mere piece of a hard drive that has not been degaussed. See Proton’s full line of degaussers to save on a degausser and destroyer bundle.

Product Details

Compact and rugged design is portable and easily deployable.
Automatic cycle provides fast, safe and reliable hard drive destruction in 10 seconds or less.
Can operate with or without power (manually for emergency situations).
Hard drives are bent approximately 90 degrees, which bends/breaks the platters and damges the heads, motor and circuit board.
Maintenance free and completely self-contained. No messy fuilds or external components to deal with and no adjustments or calibration necessary.
Tested and used by NSA and DoD for destroying hard drives.
Customization is easy with additional options.

Introducing the Hard Drive Crushing Series by Proton Data Security. Let’s take a look at the Proton PDS-100 automatic hard drive crushing device. The PDS-100 has an NSA evaluated [listing – 00:22] for the destruction of hard drives after degaussing. The PDS-100 takes physical hard drive destruction one step further than the PDS-75 by providing an automatic motor-driven operation. Simply insert the hard drive, and sensors will automatically start an 8-second cycle. It powers [ever – 00:42] interrupted or unavailable during this 8-second cycle. A unique feature of the PDS-100 is its ability to operate manually like the PDS-75. It’s simple to use. Grab the crank handle and continue to securely destroy your hard drives. The PDS-100 has the option to add on the [rear output slide – 01:09] which allows hard drives to fall out of the back of the unit (after the destruction process is complete) into the receptacle of a customer’s choosing. The auto loader which attaches to the front of the unit allows for drives to be automatically fed into the front of the unit to push the already destroyed drives out of the back.

The PDS-100 is also NSA evaluated and listed for the second-stage destruction of hard drives after degaussing. An important note to make is that using a degausser is the only way to guarantee that all data on hard drives and other magnetic media is completely unrecoverable during the physical destruction stage. With an NSA listing after degaussing and several different customizable options, the Proton PDS-100 Automatic Hard Drive Crushing Device is ready to be added to any hard drive crushing operation.
