However, the question arises – what to do with the old hard disks when new ones arrive? Their proper and secure disposal is important. As such drives may contain matter that is hazardous to natural resources and their environment their disposal has to be performed in an ecologically-friendly way.

The hard drives’ details are logged meticulously and then taken to the disposal process. The entire disposal and destruction history of such a hard drive is accessible at any time by the client.
High Quality Data Destruction on Hard Drive
Advanced data purging software is used to destroy the data from the hard drives. Leaks of such data would be very expensive for the client, so all care is taken to ensure that data is completely erased from hard drives in a secure environment.
This is done by formatting the hard drive with powerful data purging software. This removes all resident information and data (including that which had seemed to have been deleted from the drive by the user but is in fact still existing in physical form on the drive. Such purging includes the cleaning of RAM as well.
Then a process of sterilization is carried out on the wiped drive. This is done by running a powerful electromagnetic field generator through the drive. This completely eliminates every vestige of any magnetic data from the drive. This makes the data that was on the drive unrecoverable. It is then that the drive is dismantled into its component parts, and the hard drive can be re-purposed or recycled for use in another product.
