Ultimate-4 Complete NSA-Compliant HDD/SSD Media Destruction Bundle
Complete NSA-Compliant Destruction with Integrated Audit Trail for Magnetic and Solid-State Media
The Ultimate-4 bundle delivers a comprehensive NSA/CSS-compliant data destruction solution that addresses the fundamental challenge of modern data security: magnetic and solid-state media require completely different destruction methods. This integrated system combines the TS-1XT IRONCLAD degausser from the NSA/CSS Evaluated Products List, the PT828HDD shredder certified to H-4/P-3 security levels, and the Kobra SSD disintegrator with Log Management System approved by the National Security Agency providing complete audit trail documentation for both media types.
Why No Single Machine Can Destroy All Media Types
Magnetic Hard Drives store data by aligning magnetic particles on spinning platters. Even after physical shredding, these patterns can be reconstructed if fragments retain magnetic properties. The NSA requires both degaussing (magnetic erasure) and physical destruction.
Solid-State Drives store data using electrical charges in flash memory cells. Magnetic fields have zero effect on SSDs. The NSA requires physical disintegration to particles smaller than 2mm to prevent any data recovery from memory chips.
This fundamental difference in storage technology makes the Ultimate-4's multi-system approach essential for complete data security.

Ultimate - 4 Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't we use just one machine for everything?
Magnetic and solid-state media store data using completely different technologies. Degaussing has zero effect on SSDs, and physical shredding alone leaves magnetic patterns recoverable on HDDs. The NSA requires specific destruction methods for each type.
What preparation is required for the Kobra SSD?
Batteries, capacitors, relays, heat-sinks, and large LCD displays must be removed before processing. This is a critical safety requirement that prevents fires, explosions, and toxic fume release.
Can hard drives go in the Kobra SSD?
No. Traditional hard drives will damage the Kobra SSD and void the warranty. HDDs must use the magnetic media workflow only.
What's the actual throughput for mixed environments?
Magnetic media: 120 drives/hour (complete NSA process). Solid-state media: 90 lbs/hour. These operate as independent parallel workflows.
What about newer formats like M.2 and NVMe?
The Kobra SSD handles all solid-state formats including M.2, NVMe, SATA SSDs, and embedded flash in devices.
