Frequently Asked Questions — Hard Drive Shredding in Cedar Rapids IA
Why is physical shredding better than data wiping for hard drives?
Data wiping software can miss sectors or be circumvented with forensic tools. Physical shredding in Cedar Rapids IA permanently destroys the platters and memory chips, making data recovery scientifically impossible and providing legal proof of destruction.
What certifications do you provide after shredding in Cedar Rapids IA?
After every hard drive shredding job in Cedar Rapids IA, we issue a Certificate of Destruction that includes serial numbers, destruction date, and method. This document satisfies HIPAA, FACTA, and other regulatory compliance requirements.
Do you shred SSDs differently than traditional hard drives?
Yes. SSDs use NAND flash memory which requires particle sizes of 2mm or smaller to ensure data is truly unrecoverable. Our Cedar Rapids IA facility uses specialized shredders that meet NSA/CSS EPL standards for both magnetic and flash storage media.
