FAQs

Your Hard Drive Destruction Questions, Answered.

Unsure if our hard drive destruction is right for your organization? Start with some of our frequently asked questions to see if we have the right file management service to fit your needs.

Hard drives store data on metal disks called platters. To ensure data is unrecoverable, these platters need to be destroyed. Hard drive destruction typically involves two methods that permanently destroy platters:

  • Shearing – An industrial shredder cuts the platter into small pieces or strips to ensure it cannot be placed back together.
  • Crushing – In this process, a large hole is punched through the platter. This results in the magnetic surface rippling and deforming, so data is unrecoverable.

Absolutely. When you partner with VRC as your hard drive disposal provider, you’ll receive a certificate of destruction for proof of compliance. The certificate includes important details, such as destruction date, locations, and chain of custody.

To ensure your data is protected throughout the media destruction process, we utilize:

  • Barcode Tracking: Barcodes are scanned at each touch-point to show when and where your materials are picked up, dropped off, and destroyed.
  • GPS Tracking: Our GPS tracked trucks provide real-time monitoring and route tracking.
  • 24/7 Monitoring: Our shredding plants are equipped with 24/7 video surveillance and live monitoring.

We sure do. Due to EPA standards and other compliancy restrictions, hard drive destruction is a must. That’s why we provide you with a certificate of destruction to prove you’ve securely destroyed your electronic records.
