Data Destruction Services

At Excess IT Hardware (EIH) , we understand that the security of your sensitive data is non-negotiable. Whether you’re upgrading your IT systems, disposing of old hardware, or simply ensuring compliance with data protection regulations, our state-of-the-art data destruction tools are here to keep your information safe. Here’s how we do it:

SSD Micro Shredder: Unparalleled Data Destruction

Our SSD Micro Shredder is designed to provide the highest level of security when it comes to destroying sensitive data stored on solid-state drives and other micro storage devices. With a shred size of just 0.15”W x 0.598”L (3.8mm x 15.2mm), this powerful machine can completely destroy SSD drives, smartphones, mini-tablets, credit cards, CDs/DVDs, and USB sticks, rendering your data completely irretrievable.

Our micro shredder meets and exceeds industry standards, including HIPAA, GLBA, NIST Guidelines, and DoD Emergency Destruction Guidelines. Whether you’re in healthcare, finance, or any other industry that handles sensitive information, EIH ensures your compliance with these critical regulations.

HD Shredder and Crusher: Comprehensive Hard Drive Destruction

For traditional hard drives, our HD Shredder operates at Security Level H-4 (DIN 66399), reducing your hard drives to 18mm fragments, making data recovery impossible. For SSDs, our shredder achieves a finer shred size of 9mm, ensuring that even the smallest data remnants are destroyed.

In addition, our NSA listed Crunch 250 can destroy media in just 9 seconds providing an extra layer of security by crushing hard drives and SSDs to meet DIN 66399 Security Levels H-3 and E-1, respectively. This physical destruction method is ideal for ensuring complete data protection, especially for sensitive and classified information.

Degaussing: The Ultimate Magnetic Media Sanitization

EIH also utilizes a NATO-listed degausser to sanitize any magnetic media, including laptop drives, desktop drives, network drives, and storage tapes like DLT, LTO, and DDS/DAT. Our degausser meets the U.S. Department of Defense and Defense Security Services requirements, ensuring that all data is rendered permanently inaccessible.

By choosing EIH, you’re not only protecting your data but also adhering to critical regulations such as NIST, FACTA, GDPR, and PCI DSS. Our degaussing process guarantees that your magnetic media is sanitized to the highest standards, leaving no trace of your confidential data behind.
