Specialty Shredder From DestructData Affordably Destroys Phones, SSD's and Other Flash Media

Securing private data on solid state devices now possible in non-industrial environments

FlashEx SSD Shredder

Smartphones, Mini-Tablets and Solid State Drives are integrated into the modern world to the point that most people could not imagine life without them. But few users stop to think about the sheer quantity of data stored on their laptop drives, phones, tablets and thumb drives. As is often the case with evolving technologies, the problem of how to sanitize private data across this wide and growing range of storage has grown faster than the available solutions. In the commercial world especially, companies and organizations of all sizes have struggled to find a way to securely destroy these devices without breaking the bank.
The unique architecture of Solid State memory means stored data is much harder to destroy than on conventional hard drives found in PCs and laptops. Smashing these devices just won’t do the job. Up until now, the only solution was a disintegrator, a major piece of industrial equipment with a hefty price tag. Not only do disintegrators cost upwards of $30,000, they are also noisy, dusty and expensive to operate.

Enter FlashEx
DestructData – a pioneer in the electronic data destruction industry - routinely sources new technology for innovative secure solutions that meet the demands and challenges presented by new media. The FlashEx shredder is the first cost-effective solid state shredder to offer a high level of security for flash media devices. Unlike larger, more expensive equipment, the standard 120V FlashEx delivers the convenience and small footprint to operate in environments where sensitive multimedia are used.
It’s all about waste particle size
The only way to securely destroy data on a flash memory device is to reduce it to the smallest particle size possible. FlashEx’s German-engineered cutting head reduces flash memory to a waste particle smaller than 3/16” (4 x 15mm). The proprietary cutting claw reverses automatically for larger devices such as mini-tablets, chewing them up until data is no longer recoverable.
