DB-4000 Disk Drive Bender

The DB-4000 Disk Drive Bender is a heavy duty hard drive destruction device. Designed for ease-of-use, reliability, and safety, the DB-4000 provides excellent throughput and efficiency in a hard drive destruction device.hard drive destruction device DB-4000 Disk Drive Bender by Data Security, Inc.

The Destruction Solution
While the NSA/DoD requires magnetic media be degaussed to sanitize information, they also highly recommend hard drives be physically destroyed prior to disposal. Some options for destruction are better than others. Incinerating, for example, releases a harmful debris-filled exhaust into the atmosphere while the shredding of a hard drive is extremely noisy and results in a mess of knife-edged shards. Bending, on the other hand, can offer quick, quiet and clean physical destruction.

Quick, Quiet and Safe
Data Security, Inc.'s DB-4000 Disk Drive Bender will fold, shatter, crush and break any hard drive placed inside, rendering it un-bootable and un-repairable. The DB-4000 Disk Drive Bender is designed with safety in mind. When the safety door is open, the blade locks into place preventing its operation. The door itself is made of a shatterproof, yet transparent material that allows the user to view inside. In the event of an emergency, a manual stop button immediately halts the operation of the machine. The DB-4000 includes a convenient debris collection tray for quick and safe clean up.

Degauss and Destroy Duo
For 150% compliance with NSA/DoD specifications for erasure of electronic information on hard disk drives, pair the DB-4000 Disk Drive Bender with any Data Security, Inc. Degausser. Contact a representative to learn more.

PERFORMANCE
Disk Destruction
Simply open the door and insert a hard drive. With single button operation, the powerful blade of the DB-4000 Disk Drive Bender descends on the media. With the force of 40,000 psi (equal to that of an elephant), the indestructible blade presses down on the media, bending, folding and crushing the delicate platters and circuitry of the drive, rendering it unusable and ready for disposal.

Portable
It's small footprint and lightweight design makes it easy to transport from one location to another. Wheeled cart and deployment case available, ask a representative for details.

Durable
Built to last, the powerful crushing blade resists chipping and dulling. The components of the DB-4000 are so durable, we expect it to provide reliable service beyond our guarantee.

Media Size
Chamber accommodates all media up to 4” (101 mm) high by 6” (152 mm) deep by 1.75” (254 mm) high. The DB-4000 can accommodate multiple media per cycle (i.e. multiple laptop hard drives).

Cycle Time
The blade descends in 8 seconds, returns to starting position in 4, for a total time of 12 seconds per cycle.

Duty Cycle
Continuous

POWER REQUIREMENTS
120 Volts or 230 Volts (50/60 Hz)

PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT
Temperature: Storage and shipping from -40 degrees F (-40 degrees C) to 158 degrees F (70 degrees C) Operation from 32 degrees F (0 degrees C) to 122 degrees F (50 degrees C).
Relative Humidity: 5% to 95%
