Hard Drive Shredding FAQ — Columbia SC
Can’t I just degauss my hard drives in Columbia SC?
Degaussing works for magnetic HDDs but is completely ineffective on SSDs, flash drives, and optical media. Physical shredding is the only method guaranteed to destroy all types of storage media. Most compliance frameworks including HIPAA and DoD now require physical destruction.
How many drives can you shred at our Columbia SC site?
Our mobile units can process hundreds of drives per hour on-site at your Columbia SC location. For large decommissioning projects, we coordinate logistics in advance to ensure minimal disruption to your operations.
What documentation do we receive after shredding in Columbia SC?
