NSA approved, durable and safe alternative to hard drive shredding, the DB-4000 Disk Drive Bender is a heavy duty hard disk drive (HDD) destruction device. 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, 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.
Features
- Largest chamber in an automatic destruction device, destroying oversized media formats and multiples pieces simultaneously.
- Built to last; indestructible ram requires no preventative maintenance or expensive repairs.
- Listed in the NSA/CSS Evaluated Products List for Hard Drive Destruction.

DB-4000 Performance
QUICK, EFFICIENT DESTRUCTION
The chamber of the DB-4000 accepts a wide variety of media up to 4” by 6” by 1.76.” Due to this larger chamber size, thinner laptop drives (up to 6) can be stacked inside the chamber and damaged simultaneously, resulting in greater time efficiency.
SAFETY CONTROLS
The DB-4000 is designed with safety in mind. When the safety door is open, the ram locks into place preventing operation. The door itself is made of a shatterproof, yet transparent material that allows the user to view inside while protecting the operator from flying debris, a common result from the damaging process. In the event of an emergency, a manual stop button immediately halts the operation of the machine. Clean up is quick, safe, and easy with a removable debris collection tray.
DEGAUSS, THEN DESTROY
Department of Defense magnetic media sanitization regulations require the use of an approved degausser, at minimum. In addition, they recommend degaussing be followed by physical damage prior to disposal. For complete compliance, pair the DB-4000 with a degausser listed in the National Security Agency’s Evaluated Products List-Degausser.
