The high-speed, high-powered PD-5 is the fastest and lightest NSA/CSS EPL-listed hard drive destroyer on the market. The PD-5 meets evolving technology challenges by increasing the speed, amplifying the crushing power, and offering an optional SSD-1 solid-state destroyer that both perforates and waffles solid-state media, flash drives, USB thumb drives, and SSHD controller boards.
Add IRONCLAD to generate a Certificate of Destruction with crush depth from the PD-5. The PD-5 is also compatible with the SCAN-1 Media Destruction Report Generator.

How to Destroy Solid-State
Listed on the NSA/CSS Evaluated Products List (EPL) for Hard Drive Bending Devices. Meets the toughest standards for bending hard drives containing U.S. government classified top-secret data, as well as all other government and industry standards for data destruction before disposal.
Independently tested and certified to meet CE safety and compatibility standards.
Destroys laptop, standard, and full-height hard drives. The optional SSD-1 allows you to expand the range of media destroyed to include solid-state drives laptop drives, flash drives, USB thumb drives, and SSHD controller boards.
Quiet enough to use in an office and about the size of a desktop computer weighs just 79 lbs., uses no messy hydraulic fluid, and plugs into any standard wall outlet worldwide.
Uses no hydraulics, eliminating concerns about messy hydraulic fluid spills and the need for a spill containment mat.
Delivers approximately 10+ tons of crushing power to hard drives. When used with the optional SSD-1, 90 pins pierce solid-state media from top and bottom, causing both perforation and waffling, which destroy the individual memory chips.
High-torque sensing technology allows the crushing wedge to zoom quickly to locate the media then increases torque to maximize crushing power, delivering destruction in 18 seconds or less. It’s fast enough to meet the Department of Defense emergency-destruction guidelines and requires no cool down between cycles.
Requires no adapters to destroy hard drives up to 4.5 inches (113 mm) wide by 6.5 inches (165 mm) deep by 2.25 inches (50 mm) high, including network SCSI and IDE drives. Allows you to specify voltage options when ordering for international locations. The optional SSD-1 expands your capabilities to include solid-state drives and flash media.
Destroys up to eight laptop drives, two standard 1-inch hard drives, or one full-height hard drive during each destruction cycle. The optional SSD-1 handles one standard solid-state drive, one SSHD controller board, or multiple flash and USB thumb drives fit into the SSD-1 destruction chamber.
Push-button operation, auto-sensing of media type, and LCD screen keep you informed at each step of the destruction process. Simply place the media into the crushing chamber, close the door, press the button, and wait eighteen seconds or less to retrieve the destroyed media.
Because the PD-5 doesn’t rely on software, it can destroy any working or nonworking laptop, desktop, or network hard drive. The optional SSD-1 requires no software.
As data technology evolves, data destruction technology must too. The PD-5 with optional SSD-1 meets the challenge by delivering high-speed, high-powered destruction across the spectrum of today’s commonly used data-storage media. The PD-5 operates as a standalone unit or as part of a complete degauss-and-destroy system when paired with our NSA/CSS EPL-listed TS-1XT degausser, high-volume HD-3XTL degausser, or high-speed HD-2XT degausser.
The PD-5 requires no hydraulic fluid to operate, eliminating concerns about messy fluid spills or the need to place the PD-5 on a spill-containment mat. It’s rugged, yet lightweight components and quiet operation make it perfect for office environments.
The PD-5 will help you satisfy the most stringent government and industry standards, including:
Listed on the NSA/CSS Evaluated Products List (EPL) for Hard Drive Bending Devices, the PD-5 was laboratory tested to ensure disk destruction to the level required for the U.S. government classified top-secret data.
Independently tested and certified to meet CE safety and compatibility standards.
