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.
