Solid State Drives (SSDs) store sensitive data in flash memory, making them difficult to erase completely. Our professional SSD shredding services guarantee total data destruction, ensuring compliance with security standards and protecting your business from data breaches.
🚨 The Problem:
Not all SSD destruction methods are created equal. Many shredders on the market are not designed to handle solid-state drives properly, leaving behind particles that are too large to ensure complete data destruction. If your recycler isn’t using an industrial shredder capable of reducing SSDs to 1/4-inch particles or smaller, sensitive data—such as customer records, financial data, and passwords—could still be recoverable.
⚠️ The Risk:
An improperly shredded SSD in the wrong hands can lead to serious consequences. Cybercriminals can extract data, putting your company at risk of breaches, financial losses, and legal penalties. Failure to comply with HIPAA, GDPR, and NIST 800-88 could result in hefty fines and reputational damage. Without proper SSD destruction down to 1/4-inch particles, your organization remains vulnerable to cyber threats and compliance violations.
✅ The Solution:
At SBC Recycle, our industrial shredders are designed specifically for SSD destruction, reducing drives to 1/4-inch or smaller particles—far exceeding industry security standards. Unlike software wipes or degaussing, our shredding process ensures total data elimination.
Don’t take risks with your data, SHRED IT! Let SBC Recycle protect your business
Shredding an SSD requires a special shredder with smaller cutters. Our equipment breaks SSDs into 1/4-inch or smaller pieces, ensuring complete data destruction, especially with newer M.2 drives. Older shredders have larger gaps, allowing SSDs to pass through without fully destroying the data.
Absolutely! With our on-site service, you can witness the shredding in person. For off-site shredding, you can watch the process live via our online portal. We unlock the tamper-proof security bins on camera and shred your SSDs while you watch remotely, just as if you were there in person.
