Abtron’s Hard Drive Shredding Service

With the fast progress of technology, electronic devices get old quickly. In fact, some computer systems and electronic gadgets are created with an intentionally short lifespan, making the introduction of newer and upgraded versions easier for the manufacturers. However, this norm has created issues with the destruction of IT assets and data privacy.


No matter how short you use your electronic devices, you can't avoid storing information on them. This is what you must be well aware of. The hard drives can contain sensitive data that thieves can use against you. To avoid this kind of problem, Abtron provides a secure hard drive shredding service. We make sure that your most important files are irretrievable to protect their value. 


When it is time to get rid of your old and unused hard drives, you don't have to hesitate to destroy them. Of course, the only way you can erase all the data is through proper hard drive destruction. One best option for that is hard drive shredding. Learn more about the disposal option below.


What is Hard Drive Shredding

What is Hard Drive Shredding?

Hard drive shredding is a process that incorporates a mechanical device purposely built to shred a hard drive into smaller pieces, making it completely useless and destroyed. Abtron only uses high-quality hard drive degaussers to ensure the proper and secure data destruction service. Our machines can destroy all types of hard drives. Thus, they are efficiently functional to do the job quickly and securely. 


Through degaussers, hard drives are physically destroyed into pieces. So the data becomes completely irretrievable no matter what means will be used to recover it. Therefore, hard drive shredding is the best practice you can choose for secure data destruction. After all, erasing and reformatting data on your hard drive is not enough to maintain excellent data privacy. 


Rather than choosing to do the hard drive destruction yourself or follow some questionable methods for that, it is better that you leave the job to the experts. All data is valuable, wherein data thieves can use it in the wrong ways if you don't keep your data away from them. It is our goal to effectively help you keep your information only to you, no matter what data recovery techniques hackers and data thieves use. 


Basically, Abtron's hard drive shredding service can help you transform your hard drive into unrecognizable pieces — a real and secure way to get rid of your crucial and sensitive information forever.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hard Drive Shredding

Need to know more about hard drive shredding? If so, check out the most frequently asked questions about hard drive shredding and relevant topics about it. Keep reading to learn more.

  • Are files deleted really deleted?

    You can't trust deletion or even reformatting to guarantee it if it is about data privacy. When you delete your files, it is just like moving them to the Recycle Bin. Basically, you don't actually delete your files when they end up in the Recycle Bin. Of course, you can delete them again from there. However, they are still not permanently gone. 


    As a matter of fact, ordinary deleted files can easily be retrieved with recovery programs available. It is an effortless job for hackers to access your sensitive data. With that being said, deletion is not even an option for secure data destruction. What you need is a hard drive degaussing or shredding service. 

  • Can shredders delete any type of data storage?

    Shredders are specifically designed to destroy different types of data storage physically. When the physical form is already destroyed and turned into smaller pieces, it is hard to recover any data, no matter how fancy the retrieve method is. The good thing about shredders is that they are flexible and can destroy even flash drives, CDs, and SSDs besides the hard drives.

  • Are shredded hard drives recoverable?

    Shredded hard drives are already turned into smaller pieces. With that in consideration, data stored on those hard drives are hard to recover. It is a piece of good news if you don't want anyone to get a hand with your files. Surely, the likelihood of any data being left behind in the hard drives is low. 

  • What part of a hard drive is important to be destroyed?

    Hard drives are different when it comes to their manufacturer and technology. Nonetheless, the majority of them share a critical part. Once their platter is destroyed, the data stored on it becomes really hard to retrieve. So, there won't be issues with data privacy. 


    You can find the platter since it is just a small silver-colored disc that you can see inside the aluminum casing. Interestingly, destroying the platter is not an easy and do-it-yourself job. Manual destruction of the platter is not highly effective. Surely, hard drive shredding is a far more superior method. 

  • Can a magnet destroy a hard drive?

    Using an ordinary magnet is an ineffective way to destroy a hard drive. The only magnet that can destroy a hard drive is that one inside the hard drive degaussing equipment. Surely, the powerful magnet inside the equipment can ruin the magnetic properties of a hard drive to render it useless for anyone. 

  • Is shredding a secure hard drive destruction method?

    Shredding targets to physically destroy a hard drive. However, not all physical destruction of a hard drive is effective, especially if the destroyed pieces are too coarse. That way, it might be possible to rebuild the storage and recover the data stored in it. 


    The good thing is that hard drive shredders can destroy the hard drive, rendering it into almost dust-like particles. Since it is already impossible to reconstruct it again, you can trust that it is a secure method to keep your data highly protected. 

  • What alternative hard drive shredding has?

    Undeniably, there are plenty of alternatives available for shredding. However, not all are similar to shredding regarding effectiveness and security. The best alternatives you can choose from include degaussing and disintegration. On the other hand, manual destruction, melting, and other do-it-yourself methods are not only time-consuming but also ineffective and costly.
