What Makes an HDD or SSD Securely Destroyed?

Physical destruction is required for classified destruction of HDD and SSD media, and that is where SEM’s IT combo solutions come in. HDDs must also be degaussed in an NSA noted degausser prior to physical destruction.

Once degaussed, an HDD can be crushed in an NSA noted crusher or shredder to ensure that the rotational drive will not spin again. SSDs, on the other hand, must be disintegrated to a 2mm2 particle size to ensure each chip is destroyed.

For commercial regulations and CUI/PII, SSDs can be shredded or crushed as long as every chip on a platter is destroyed.

Crushers VS. Shredders
