3 Products to Erase Hard Drive Data Securely
Many of us store sensitive data on our hard drives. If you are not keeping your files protected, they could end up with a hacker. Encrypting your data and deleting your files the right way are just a couple of ways you can keep your sensitive files safe. Here are 3 products you can use to erase your hard drive files the right way:
CRU-DataPort Drive Erazer Ultra: this is useful for somewhat sensitive data. It sanitizes your hard drive and does not need a computer to work. If you are not ready to crush your hard drive or degauss it, this hard drive eraser could work.
Disk Erasing Wand Degausser: wipes hard drives forensically to an irrevocable state. It can sanitize 4″ disk packs and 3-1/2″, 5-1/4″ or 8″ floppy disks. It has a portable design.
“Sledgehammer” Manual Hard Drive Crusher: this is a tool that helps you crush your hard drive. You still have to think about degaussing it. At the same time, by putting a hole through it, you can make sure its data is gone forever. This can destroy up to 2 notebook drives in one 5 second cycle.
These products help you erase data and destroy your hard drive to make sure its data is completely gone. They are not cheap but could prove useful for businesses.
