Destroying hard drives has become an essential aspect of office security. Unlike, paper that is easily shredded by office paper shredders, hard drives are encased in thick metal, requiring heavy duty machinery to ensure proper levels of destruction. The HDS 230 solves this problem by using industrial grade shredding components constructed and engineered in Germany. For HSM, it wasn't enough to make a powerful and heavy duty hard drive shredder, they also made sure that it was easy to use and built with the latest safety standards. When it comes to physical hard drive destruction, the HDS 230 hard drive shredder is a well built combination of toughness and ease of use.
