This Unit Is Used by Both NSA & DOD Agencies for Hard Drive Destruction

The MHDD Manual & Motorized Hard Drive Destroyer is designed for the destruction of all standard hard drives. Specifically designed for emergency situations where electrical power may not be available and quick destruction is a must, the MHDD's low cost and versatility makes it perfect for both the government and commercial market where affordability and productivity are important considerations.

This small heavy-duty destroyer is virtually maintenance free and completely self-contained. There are no messy fluids or external components to deal with and no adjustments or calibration necessary.

In commercial applications the MHDD is an inexpensive alternative to expensive power destroyers, shredders and degaussers. The MHDD is designed to require a minimal amount of manual power to crank the handle, making it extremely operator friendly.

This unit comes available in 3 models: manual operation with hand crank, motorized operation, or both manual and motorized.

In typical national security operation, a destroyer would be used in conjunction with a degausser (media eraser). However in emergency situations this may not be possible. In this case destruction by rapid and reliable means to ensure that the information is irretrievable is top priority. If the power goes out or if the plane must land in enemy territory or if the embassy is under siege - any of these or other emergency situations may require the immediate destruction of stored information. It is for these situations that the MHDD is perfectly suited.

Government specifications require that in an emergency situation a hard drive needs to be destroyed so that a person or persons can not spin up the drive. This must be able to be done quickly and reliably. The MHDD meets this requirement. It takes less than 15 seconds to destroy each hard drive. All one needs to do is insert the proper drive height adaptor (if applicable), insert the hard drive into the slot and crank the handle 8 rotations. The internal workings of the unit press down on the drive, bending it approximately 90 degrees. Then the MHDD pushes the destroyed hard drive out for easy disposal. To keep the speed at an optimum, the MHDD does not require the handle to be cranked backwards to reset the "bender". It resets automatically, requiring the operator turn the handle in only one direction.

The operation renders the hard drive useless by bending the platter, damaging the heads, motor and circuit board.

A ratcheting feature is also included that makes it even easier to destroy unusually hard to break hard drives or if a high quantity of drives need to be processed.

The MHDD-1 also has a motor (MTR) option that allows the destroyer to be automatically operated, freeing up hands for other tasks. The motor option does not remove any of the destroyer's ability to be used manually in case of emergencies. The manual hand crank will still operate with the motor attached.
