Why Erasing Sensitive Data Isn’t Enough

Why do you need to destroy a hard drive to protect your information? Merely erasing and throwing away your CDs or storage devices isn’t a secure way to eliminate the data that's on them. Determined thieves can steal information even after it's been wiped from a hard drive by reconstructing fragments of data left behind. That stolen data can then be sold to identity thieves or other criminal actors. Destroying storage devices is more than a precaution but also a necessary step to protect sensitive data. We believe it’s important to educate employers about the merits of hard drive shredding for disposing of old CDs, thumb drives, and hard drives. Our hard drive destruction services are available on-site and off-site and guarantee that your personal data is erased from old media forever.

Mobile Hard Drive Destruction

Partner with PROSHRED® Fort Lauderdale to arrange on-site hard drive destruction at your place of business. Once you schedule an appointment, we come to your business, retrieve your media and devices, and process them in mobile shredders attached to trucks. Our shredders can generate up to 12,000 lbs of force, which allows them to destroy a hard drive chassis and internal platter within 15 seconds, rendering all the files on the device irrecoverable. The cost of hard drive destruction is customized based on the amount of time it takes to shred your materials. If you give us an inventory upfront, we can provide an accurate price estimate.
