The V660 HDD Evo (shown above right) is a high energy, bulk eraser especially designed to tackle the erasing of hard drives.

Software based disk erasers don't work if there is a fault in the disk controller. This means users are vulnerable to the risk of sensitive data being illegally extracted when the disk is repaired or using data recovery tools.

The V660 HDD erases hard disks in a fast 5 second erase cycle - which can be operated safely by remote control to protect the operator from high strength magnetic fields.

The PD-8400 is Designed to physically destroy hard drives in order to prevent persons from being able to "spin" the hard drive up to retrieve data. The PD-8400 will automatically bend, break and mangle the hard drive making the hard drive easily distinguishable from non destroyed hard drives - ensuring the disposal of the correct hard drive.
