The Garner 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 compliance standards for current mandates requiring destruction of data contained on hard drives prior to disposal. 

The PD-4 is designated 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 is best utilized as the last step in your data security procedure. The PD-4 will physically destroy as well signify the hard drive as being ready for disposal.

The PD-4 works as a stand alone unit or in conjunction with a hard drive degausser. The degausser will insure the erasure of the drive while the PD-4 will physically damage it. The combination will make sure the drive is erased and assure you that the drive will not be spun. 

The PD-4 will automatically destroy all formats and sizes of hard drives including Network SCSI and IDE drives up to 1.66" in height. The PD-4 does not really on software and destroys a hard in 20 seconds or less. A simple push of a button will ensure complete destruction and ensure your data will be securely destroyed and irretrievable. 

IMPORTANT - Please be aware that degaussing hard drives should only be done for destructive purposes. Degaussing erases the hard drive's servo chip thereby rendering them unusable.
