Verity Systems' VS7000 Hard Drive Destroyer physically destroys computer hard drives and prevents thieves gaining access to a company's sensitive information.

It is small, self-contained and maintenance-free, also manually operated and works with server, desktop and laptop hard drives. The device operates without electricity and takes less than 15 seconds to destroy a hard drive.

Operators simply insert the hard drive into the slot and crank the handle 8 rotations. Because the VS7000 requires a minimal amount of manual power, it is extremely operator friendly. The internal workings of the unit press down on the drive, bending it approximately 90 degrees.

The bend will render the hard drive useless by bending the platter, damaging the heads, the motor and the circuit board, making it impossible to recover the data. A standard ratcheting feature is also included to make it even easier to destroy unusually hard-to-break drives or if a large quantity of drives need to be processed.

Verity Systems' sales manager Andy Page said: “The only sure way to make sure your hard drive’s data won’t get into the wrong hands is to physically destroy the drive and the VS7000 offers visible proof that the hard drive is destroyed.”

The VS7000 Hard Drive Destroyer costs just £2,967 / €4,094 (MSRP) and is available through Verity Systems’ authorised partners and resellers throughout the world.
