Proton PPD-1 Destroyer

The PPD-1 is designed to physically destroy all standard hard drives without the use of power in 8 seconds or less. Operation is easy. Simply insert the hard drive into the slot and crank the handle 8 rotations. The internal workings of the unit press down on the drive, bending it approximately 90 degrees. The PPD-1 does not require the handle to be cranked backwards to reset the "bender". It resets automatically, requiring the operator to turn the handle in only one direction. A ratcheting feature is also included that makes it even easier to destroy unusually hard-to-break hard drives or if a high quantity of drives need to be processed.

NOTE: To comply with recognized standards, including NSA/DoD regulations, a degausser must be used prior to destroying hard drives. In a typical national security operation, a destroyer is used in conjunction with a NSA approved degausser. Using a degausser is the only way to guarantee all data on hard drives and other magnetic media is completely unrecoverable. This is because it is possible to recover data from a mere piece of a hard drive that has not been degaussed. See Proton's full line of degaussers to save on a degausser and destroyer bundle.

Features

• Compact and rugged design is portable and easily deployable.
• Less than 8 second cycle time provides fast, safe and reliable hard drive destruction.
• Specifically designed for emergency situations where power may not be available and quick destruction is required.
• Provides a "green" energy saving solution for hard drive destruction.
• Hard drives are bent approximately 90 degrees which bends/ breaks the platters and damages the heads, motor and circuit board.
• Maintenance free and completely self-contained. There are no messy fluids or external components to deal with and no adjustments or calibration necessary.
• Tested and used by NSA and DOD for destroying hard drives.
