Hard Disk Crusher destroys your hard drives.

Ensure your hard drives cant be read with a hard disk crusher.

The Hard Disk Crusher($11,500) rams a piston through the spindle of the hard drive, ensuring the platters are broken through the casing, making it increadably hard for criminals(or anyone else) to get any information from it. IF your paranoid about preventing your information from getting into the wild, this is one of the devices that will do it.

While its too expensive for individuals corporations will LOVE this device.

Give me a sledge hammer and 2 mins, I can do the same thing. But I'll only charge half the price!

That's a crazy contraption there. I guess it would be useful. But at the same time, soooo much stress can be relieved from the office if you just let your employee's do that...

While a sledge is nice, trying to do that in a clean office while wearing a monkey suit makes it kinda hard.

You guys can keep that up at a pace of 1 every 10 seconds?? You all must have biceps out to --------> here.

From what I understand its for bulk destruction in an office environment with minimal time/clean up/etc.

I still think I could make a similar invention for under $1000

For less than a quarter of the price get yourself a degausser. Not as much fun as a sledge hammer...but less work, and takes only a few seconds.

Can a degausser be used for employee discipline? I know the Hard Disk Crusher can.

Count me as one individual who LOVES this device

I wonder what kind of damage a microwave would do.. I mean obviously it would destroy the microwave as well ($39.95 solution) but I wonder if it would destroy a HD entirely, or if it would be recoverable (in part at least) - Anybody ever tried this? (Don't take this as a challenge to try... or if you do, it was your own idea, okay?)

Magnetism ribbon... $15.00

Aluminum powder..$25.00

Iron oxide.....25.00





Watching your old hard drive burn at over 4500 degrees Fahrenheit. Priceless....


There are some things money can buy, for everything else there's eBay.
