DB-4000 Destruction Device
DB-4000 Destruction Device
National Security Agency evaluated; a durable and safe alternative to hard drive shredding. The DB-4000 Destruction Device is a heavy-duty hard disk drive (HDD) destroyer. Simply open the door and insert a hard drive. With single-button operation, the powerful blade of the DB-4000 Destruction Device descends on the media. With the force of 40,000+ psi, the indestructible blade presses down on the media, bending, folding, and crushing the delicate platters and circuitry of the drive, rendering it unusable and ready for disposal.
Features
- Largest chamber in an automatic destruction device, accommodating the largest media formats and quantities per cycle.
- Built to last; indestructible ram requires no preventative maintenance or expensive repairs.
- Listed in the NSA/CSS Evaluated Products List for Hard Disk drive Destruction Devices.
