Different Types of Hard Drives Require Different Destruction Methods
Hard Disk Drive (HDD)
An HDD has rotating platters with magnetic heads arranged on a moving actuator arm, which reads and writes data to the platters. Hard disk drives retain stored data even when the device is powered off. These hard drives can be shredded or crushed so that the platters are destroyed making it impossible to retrieve data.
Solid State Drive (SSD)
Solid state drives store data in flash memory chips which allows for no moving parts. They are smaller, more durable, use less energy, and are cooler than traditional drives. Solid-state drives typically store more data than hard disk drives. Because of the small memory chips, they must be shredded by a special shredder that cuts them up into smaller pieces than a standard commercial shredder.
FileShred’s mobile units are equipped with hard drive shredders for both HHD and SSD hard drives.
