May 13 2008Hard Drive Crusher Looks Like Drill Press
EDR Solution's Hard Drive Crusher costs $11,500 and looks suspiciously like a slightly modified drill press.
With the Hard Disk Crusher you can crush over 60 disks an hour. It drills through the hard disk's spindles and physically creates ripples in the platters making it impossible to recover the data. One customer informs us that they destroyed over 9000 drives in a month, and another customer destroyed over 800 drives in day.The Hard Disk Crusher is durable and transportable. You can put it in your vehicle and take it from one location to another. It uses a standard 110 outlet and can crush a disk in 10 seconds.
If you can crush a drive in 10 seconds, why can you only crush 60 in an hour? That doesn't add up. Does it take 50 seconds to remove the drive and toss another one in? That said, if the power goes out and the feds are coming, you can get a hand pump option for an additional $895 that allows you to break drives with 15 hand-strokes. Warning: Blatant self-advertising ahead.
Okay folks, instead of buying a ridiculous $11,500 drill press to destroy drives, just send them to me. I just started a new company, No Data Left Behind. I destroy drives through a combination of drilling and feeding them to hogs. Of course, I can't actually guarantee data won't get left behind. Or that the drive won't be scanned for credit card info and/or nudey pics first.
Thanks to Gooch, who destroys drives the old fashioned way -- with his teeth

Seriously, these douch bags are charging $11,500.00 for a small hydraulic press? I'm in the wrong business.....

@2 is not the official "Scott" as I would never use the term "douch bag". Therefore I am at this time changing my moniker to the one I use on I Watch Stuff. Nothing personal to the douch bag using my name to spread filth such as douch bag, I just don't like saying douch bag.....Douch bag?
Please refer to me as : Momboelitist from this day forward.
SG: This means you!

I'm sure your friends (both of them) will be able to accept the fact that there may be more than one "Scott" in the world.

I've gone to different car mechanics in my time, and they clearly have presses that put out more than 6000lbs of pressure. Easy, ask them if you can play with it, get the drives on there, and bingo. Or take it to a place where they shred cars (yes, they shred them into bits of nothingness), and enjoy the shredding.

Here's a 10 ton (20,000 lbs) hydraulic press for $179. Get one of these and save $11,321.

As many of the comments on this are off topic... I just wanted to say what is the real purpose of a hard drive crusher... seems kinda wasteful

Couldn't you just use a big magnet?

@Fake Scott,
Obviously you have not the intelligence or sophistication to understand my level of humor/ sarcasm. To clarify, changing my name is more a joke than anything else, so get a grip.
