ConfiData Adds Mobile Hard Drive Shredding Services

 

Utica, New York – ConfiData Document Destruction announces the addition of a 2021 Freightliner Mobile Shred Truck with an installed Alpine 395 Hard Drive Shredder.  This truck will shred up to 7,500 pounds of paper per hour, but also has the unique ability to shred hard drives and other computer media, onsite, at customers locations.

 

This new mobile shred truck is capable of destroying up to 16 hard drives per minute, along with CDs, DVDs and other media storage disks.  There is absolutely no way to recover the hard drive once it has gone through the mobile hard drive shredder, removing any risk of identity theft as well as assuring businesses stay in compliance with strict regulations on data security, environmental requirements, and to protect data from malicious hackers.

 

Some companies now require hard drives and media to be shredded before it even leaves their premises due to the secure nature of the data, and ConfiData is one of the first in the region to offer mobile hard drive destruction.  To learn more, visit www.confidata.com or call 800-62-SHRED.
