Destroying hard drives that no longer have value still involves security risks. You can’t simply toss a Serial ATA hard drive into the trash without worry. Shredding of SATA drives is typically the best method for destroying potentially compromising data, and that’s where an electronic recycling expert like OceanTech comes in.
Hard Drives and other sensitive media are best disposed of through shredding, which ensures that the data will never be accessed and that the drives cannot be reused, according to the experts at OceanTech.
The company should know. It’s responsible for assisting hundreds of clients every year with the destruction of sensitive data and the storage devices that contain it. Shredding a SATA drive requires special equipment and a secure process to ensure that, from the time the drives leave the client facility until the time they have been rendered into shreds, there’s no chance for data to be compromised.
Industry standards exist from several sources, and OceanTech meets the standards established by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the Department of Defense. The company works with highly secure businesses that trust them with sensitive financial and company data that must be securely destroyed.
SATA drive destruction is just one service provided by OceanTech, which also can be a one-call solution to eliminating storage closets full of retired computers, printers, telephone systems and virtually any type of electronic products.
