Hard Drive Shredding
When your policy calls for physical destruction, TurnKey shreds hard drives and solid-state media down to particle sizes that make data recovery impossible. Each drive is scanned by serial number before it enters the shredder, so your destruction record is exact, not a bin count.
Available for a single location or coordinated across multiple sites, nationwide.
How it works
Shredding is the right answer for failed drives that can't be wiped, for the highest-security data, and for organizations whose retention policy simply mandates destruction. You get a Certificate of Destruction and a serialized manifest, and the shredded media is recycled through certified downstream channels.
What's included
- Physical shredding of HDDs and SSDs to secure particle size
- Serial-number scan of every drive before destruction
- Certificate of Destruction with a serialized manifest
- Witnessed and on-site options available
- Shredded media recycled through R2v3 certified channels
Frequently asked questions
Is shredding better than wiping a hard drive? +
Neither is universally better. They serve different needs. Verified wiping (NIST 800-88) lets healthy drives be reused, recovering value and reducing waste. Shredding guarantees destruction and is required for failed drives or the strictest policies. TurnKey does both and helps you pick per drive.
Do you shred SSDs and not just spinning drives? +
Yes. SSDs require destruction to a smaller particle size than traditional hard drives to be secure, and our processing accounts for that. Both HDDs and SSDs are handled and documented by serial number.
