NSA Listed Hard Drive Destruction

Meeting the NSA CSS Evaluated Products List requirement for Hard Disk Drive Destruction Services, the PD-5 operates as an NSA Listed Second Stage Hard Drive Destroyer when paired with Garner's NSA/CSS EPL-listed TS-1XT degausser. 

For those not needing NSA level degaussing, the PD-5 can be paired with Garner's high-volume HD-3XTL degausser or our economical and fast HD-2XT degausser.

Built-in Destruction Verification

Built-in performance checker:
Garner's destroyers have built-in performance verification systems. On-board diagnostics confirm the crush depth of every cycle, ensuring destruction every time.
LCD Screen:
Displays cycle count and diagnostics.
SCAN-1X Media Destruction Report software and scanner (optional):
Creates media destruction reports with date, time, user ID, serial number, and verification of each cycle.
IRONCLAD Destruction Certificate (optional):
Create the ultimate proof-of-destruction reports. Combine the PD-5 hard drive destroyer with Garner’s exclusive IRONCLAD® Destruction Verification with JPG Image Capture System.  IRONCLAD creates a Certificate of Destruction Report by compiling user, media, and diagnostic data from the PD-5 hard drive destroyer for auditing and record-keeping purposes.

Optional Solid-State Destruction

Add the SSD-1 patented solid state destroyer. Ninety spikes puncture, perforate, waffle, and demolish individual memory chips on solid-state media, thumb drives, mobile phones, and SSHDs permanently preventing data retrieval.

No Hydraulics

The PD-5 requires no hydraulic fluid to operate, eliminating concerns about messy fluid spills or the need to place the PD-5 on a spill-containment mat. Its rugged, yet lightweight (79 lbs. or 35.9 kg) components and quiet operation make it perfect for data centers and office environments.

Secure and Compliant

The PD-5 will help you satisfy the most stringent government and industry standards, including:

• NSA/CSS SDDM 9-12 (HDD destruction)
• NIST SP 800-88r1
• CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act) 
• DoD Emergency Destruction Guidelines
• GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)
• GLBA (Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act)
• HIPAA (Health Information Portability and Accountability Act)
• PCI DSS 4.0 (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard)
• PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act)

NSA Listed. Laboratory Tested. 

Listed on the NSA/CSS Evaluated Products List (EPL) for Hard Drive Bending Devices, the PD-5 was laboratory tested to ensure disk destruction to the level required for the U.S. government classified Top-Secret data.
