At Coast2coast Computers, we believe Hard drive destruction or data erasing to be one of the most important parts of our business.
TOTAL data erasing from the computer’s hard drive should be paramount to any corporate or home user when they dispose of any computer equipment.
Our services include on site data destruction, with a degausser, to government standard, CESG and NATO approved of most types of media. This general purpose of the degausser will erase the data from server drives, hard drives, laptop drives and will also wipe the data from many other types of media including DLT, LTO, DAT, 3480, 3490E, 3590E, 4mm/8mm, Exabyte, VHS, SVHS, Audio Tapes plus more. This is done by the degausser which after completion will make any hard drive impossible to re use. The advantage of this service is your data is erased ON SITE. This will exceed most companies liability in safe destruction of important information such as credit card information, addresses and bank details. All waste is then removed by us and then certified on site of the safe destruction.
We can also offer a data wiping service. Due to the precise nature of data erasing, the process takes time. In non-computer jargon, the aim is to rewrite the data to make it physically impossible to retrieve any information that was previously stored on the disk.
The only data erasing method used by us complies by the DEPARTMENT OF DEFENCE 5220.22-M DISK SANITISING STANDARD. The hard drive data is overwritten up to 7 times with different characters making the data impossible to retrieve.
We are happy to demonstrate our data erasing service at our customers’ site if required.
Any defective drive that is unable to be wiped, will be subject to be treated with a degausser.
