Hard Drive Destroyers For Data Security Compliance

Hard drive destroyers play a critical role in physically eliminating data from magnetic and solid -state drives. Unlike software wiping or degaussing alone, a destroyer uses mechanical force to permanently damage the drive - bending, puncturing, crushing, or disintegrating the internal components so that data cannot be retrieved.

These devices are often used in government, military, healthcare, banking, and IT asset disposition (ITAD) operations to meet compliance with data destruction standard such as NIST SP 800-88, NSA/CSS EPL, and DoD 5220.22-M. Whether operated manually or with motorized power, each destroyer on this page is engineered for efficiency, safety, and repeatable.

Many of our hard drive destroyers offer multifunctional capabilities - combining punch, crush, and shred actions in one unit. Choose from desktop models for office use or high-volume industrial machines for enterprise operations. Contact our experts for help selecting the best model for your destruction workflow.

Product Capacity / Hour Media types Compliance Best for
SPACESAVER HDD and SSD IRONCLAD
Package: HD-2XTSS degausser + PD-5 destroyer + SSD-1 + IRONCLAD verification
HD-2XTSS: up to ~1,920/hr (1.8"), ~960/hr (2.5"), ~240/hr (3.5").
PD-5: up to ~1,800/hr (2.5"), ~360/hr (3.5").
IRONCLAD adds imaging/logging (practical rate lower).
Magnetic HDDs & tape (degausser); 2.5–3.5" HDDs (PD-5); SSDs/flash/phones via SSD-1 (batteries removed). NIST SP 800-88r1 workflows; PD-5 is NSA/CSS EPL-listed; ETL/CE; TAA. IRONCLAD issues exportable certs. Mixed-media, high-assurance workflows needing photo/metrics logging & certificates in a compact footprint.
PD-5 Hard Drive Destroyer Up to ~1,800/hr (2.5") and ~360/hr (3.5"). 3.5"/2.5" HDDs; add SSD-1 for SSDs, USB flash, phones, SSHD controller boards. NSA/CSS EPL-listed HDD destroyer; ETL/CE/KC/RCM; TAA. Compact, NSA-listed crush stage; pair with a degausser for top-tier policies.
PD-5 IRONCLAD Same mechanical throughput as PD-5; practical rate reduced when capturing images/metadata for certificates. HDDs (PD-5); with SSD-1 add-on: SSD/flash/phones. NSA-listed PD-5 platform + IRONCLAD “digital witness” (images, IDs, serials, pass/fail, exportable cert). Audit-heavy environments that need verifiable destruction evidence (images + metadata).
PDS-75 (manual) Crusher ~8 sec/drive → up to ~450 drives/hr (operator-dependent). 3.5" & 2.5" HDDs; optional SSD insert for some SSD form factors. NSA/CSS evaluated & listed (HDD category). Portable/no-power use, field/emergency destruction where NSA listing is required.
PDS-100 (motorized) Crusher ~8–10 sec/drive → ~300–450/hr (derived from cycle time). Manual crank fallback without power. 3.5" & 2.5" HDDs (SSD adapters available from some resellers). NSA/CSS evaluated & listed (HDD category). Facilities wanting auto-cycle throughput with capability to operate if power is unavailable.
Crunch 250 ~9 sec/drive (≈ up to ~400/hr, media-mix & handling dependent). HDDs (3.5"/2.5"); SSDs with adapter; ships with Data Destruction Auditor software. NSA/CSS EPL (HDD); DIN 66399 H-3 (HDD) / E-1 (SSD). High-volume desktop crusher with integrated audit/reporting add-ons; pairs well with a degausser.
DiskMantler (HDD Disassembler)
Recycling/disassembly tool used after data is sanitized
Hands-free disassembly in ~8–90 sec/drive (operator setting) → roughly ~40–450 drives/hr. HDDs only (post-degauss): separates platters, PCB, magnets, casing for clean recycling streams. Not a sanitization/EPL device; supports environmental compliance & circular-economy goals. ITAD/recycling teams maximizing component recovery & value after secure erasure/destruction.
Notes: Throughput figures reflect manufacturer info and/or cycle-time derivations; actual rates vary by operator, drive mix, and workflow steps (e.g., IRONCLAD imaging).
