Customers are provided flash drives with documentation or email versions.
Degaussing
- First Choice’s degausser magnetically destroys all data on hard drives and tape in 7 seconds, verifying the erasure fields strength. Generating 10,000+ Gauss (1 Tesla) magnetic field for complete erasure of hard drives and tape media. Degaussing is recognized by the NSA and the DOD as the appropriate method of secure data destruction.
- First Choice’s degaussing process is ideal for in office settings with a whisper quiet operating system.
Destruction
- First Choice’s in office destruction process quietly destroys hard drives by bending, breaking, and mangling the hard drive and its internal components including the data platters. Using a rugged, stainless-steel crushing wedge, the Drive Destroyer bends the data platters, preventing the hard drive from “spinning up” or the hard disk platters from being removed and placed on a spin stand used in laboratory data recovery techniques. The Drive Destroyer also cracks the hard-drive housing, breaks the PC board, and smashes the read-write heads. For using after degaussing, the Drive Destroyer ensures total hard drive destruction.
