Data Erasure Service

MagStor Data Erasure and Hard Drive Destruction Services
Certified Data Erasure – To ensure that hard drives are safe for reuse, MagStor’s standard data overwrite procedure includes a 3-pass data erasure method that is compliant with the U.S. Department of Defense (drives are overwritten with 0s, 1s randomly) followed by a random sector verification.

Any hard drives that identify with even one bad sector or fail the overwrite process are removed and physically shredded and the drive serial number, shred time and shred operator name are all recorded in our asset management system.

All data erasure services are performed using Blancco software which stores the erasure report for each media device by its serial number, providing documented proof of erasure for audit compliance.
