Many companies opt to shred their used hard drives or perform other methods of physical hard drive destruction so they can be 100% sure about the security and integrity of their confidential data.
Doing so effectively eliminates your ability to reuse or sell the hard drive, lowering the ROI of your investment.
However, there are actually reliable methods to ensure the secure deletion of your data without physical hard drive destruction.
Here at Big Data Supply Inc., we understand the importance of securely eradicating your sensitive or confidential data.
