HDT4-JAB Replacement Bits for HDD Destruction Tool

Replacement bits for the HDT4-JAB HDD destruction tool, keeping the tool cutting cleanly and in service as bits wear with repeated use. Physical destruction is the final, verifiable step in retiring data-bearing media: once a drive is physically deformed it cannot be read, remounted or recovered, which is why it is widely used to meet secure-disposal and compliance requirements.

Depending on the media, tools like this deform the platters of a hard drive or damage the memory chips of a solid-state drive, so the stored data can never be reconstructed. This a straightforward, repeatable way for organizations to show that retired drives were destroyed, not simply erased. Handling loose drives on-site also avoids the chain-of-custody risk that comes with shipping data-bearing media to a third party. Used together with secure erasure, it gives you a complete, auditable end-of-life process for drives leaving your control. Pair it with our Data Destruction Accessories and secure-erase hardware for a complete end-of-life process. 

Confirm the tool suits the drives you need to retire before ordering, and send us your requirements if you'd like help choosing.
