Best Tips for Hard Drive Shredding

Technology is progressing by leaps and bounds and
things keep on coming with innovative features
and much more updates. It is hard to stick to the
old products when there are a number of
innovative and improved products available in the
market with a slight increase in the price. In
this situation, the major problem people face is
the replacement of the hard drive as it contains
confidential information along with the private
pictures and videos. It becomes necessary to find
a suitable method of hard drive shredding. People
keep on innovating different ways and an enormous
majority of these methods does not do any good.
Even more disappointing is the fact that the
cyber criminals always try to reach the
confidential data one way or the other.

A number of software are available in the market,
but most of them do not hit the target. Storing
your hard drive and flash drive does not serve
the purpose as well as there remains a constant
threat of theft. The most important fact to know
is that when you delete any file from the hard
disk it is not completely removed from the
system. The operating systems even windows tend
to remove the pointing reference to the file
which only makes it inaccessible to the users of
the computer. There are hundreds of data recovery
tools which are capable of restoring the deleted
files. In this case, hard drive shredding becomes
mandatory.

What happens when you delete a file is that the
operating system creates an empty space in order
to store new data in the same location? If that
space is not filled by a new file, then the data
recovery tools just take seconds to restore the
deleted file. A multi-cycle shred operation is
required to remove the entire data from the hard
disk. Another fact that you must keep in mind
that file shredding cannot delete the files from
the drive where the operating system is
installed.

If you want to save your money and get rid of the
old hard disk then destroying the hard drive
appears to be the most suitable option. The
problem is that the hard drive is a very strong
metallic box and it is very difficult to destroy
it. Still people from all over the world have
tried different methods to destroy the hard
drive. Most of them do it for fun and some of
them take it as a challenge. If you want to
follow a professional approach, then you can
refer to a shredding company in your locality.
Otherwise, you may opt for the computer recycling
company. If you know, somebody who is an expert
in hard drive shredding then take your disk to
that person. Please bear in mind that this person
should be credible enough that you can trust him.

There are a number of other methods, but those
methods are not professional. You need to be an
expert user of hardware tools such as hammer,
drills, and grinders. I never suggest you to
adopt such methods because this is not an
environment-friendly approach.
