The PD-4 physically destroys hard drives by bending, breaking and mangling the hard drive and its internal components including the data platters. The data platters are bent and separated from the hub, the hard drive housing is cracked, the PC board is broken and the read/write heads are mangled.
The PD-4 meets NIST, HIPAA, PCI-DSS and GLBA compliance and guidelines requiring destruction of data contained on hard drives

The PD-4 is designed to physically destroy hard drives in order to prevent persons from being able to "spin" the hard drive up to retrieve data. The PD-4 will automatically bend, break and mangle the hard drive including the data platters - where the data is stored. Once destroyed, the data will no longer be retrievable.
The PD-4 is best utilized as the last step in your data security procedures. All other methods of data erasure leave the outside appearance of hard drives unchanged. It is impossible for the operator to distinguish a working hard drive from a non-working drive. The PD-4 will physically destroy as well as identify the hard drive as being ready for disposal. No hard drive should be disposed of without first being physically destroyed.
The PD-4 works as a stand-alone unit or in conjunction with our HD-3WXL hard drive degausser. These degaussers will assure the complete erasure and demagnetization of the information prior to destruction by the PD-4.
The PD-4 is the ultimate in data security.
The PD-4 will automatically destroy all
formats and sizes of hard drives including Network SCSI and IDE Drives up to
2" in height. The PD-4 doesn't rely on software, therefore it will destroy
all working and non-working hard drives in a matter of seconds. A simple
push of a button will ensure complete destruction and ensure your data will
be securely destroyed and un-retrievable.

The PD-4 will physically destroy as well as identify the hard drive as being

physically destroyed.
The PD-4 has been updated with an auto
height detection system. This allows the operator to save precious time when
destroying today's low profile or 1" hard drives, laptop hard drives or
multiple hard drives in a single sequence. Auto sensors also will allow the
operator to destroy the taller half-height and network drives up to 2" in
height with no additional user input. It only takes 20 seconds for the first
drive to be destroyed, therefore meeting the NSA's Emergency Destruction
guidelines.
To enhance the PD-4's compact size, we
offer an optional carrying case on wheels. This allows the PD-4 to be easily
transported to the secure location of the hard drive rather than jeopardize
the data during transportation.
