The Garner PD-8700 is the ultimate in hard drive destruction. Designed to be two machines in one. First, it is a powerful degausser with a 10,000 gauss rating. Secondly, it is a physical hard drive destroyer that pierces holes into the data platters rendering the hard drive physically unusable. 

Because the PD-8700's erasing field is many times stronger than the writing and erasing heads inside the hard drive, the PD-8700 will provide superior erasure over re-write programs that rely on the hard drive's internal write heads. 

The PD-8700 has three modes of operation:

Auto Mode

Allows the user to perform both Degauss and Destroy functions.

Erase Mode 

The PD-8400 with its large tray size accommodates today's high coecivity drives as well as older, larger sized hard drives.. Stored energy is quickly released to produce short, focused erasing fields that penetrate through the hard drive housing, changing the magnetic properties contained on the data disk platters.

Destroy Mode 

Physically destroys hard drives, preventing data from being recovered. The physical destruction visibly identifies hard drives that have been properly sanitized. 

The PD-8700 accommodate all formats and sizes of hard drives up to 4.5-inches wide and 1.66-inches high. The PD-8700 does not rely on software, therefore it will erase all operating systems. In addition, degaussing is the only way of erasing hard drives that are not functional.

New security and privacy mandates now require complete erasure of media containing sensitive and confidential information prior to the re-use or disposal of the media. 

IMPORTANT: Degaussing Hard Drives renders them unusable. Degaussing hard drive should only be done for destructive purposes.
