Destroy Every Chip

Each Chip Contains Data

Physical destruction is required for data destruction on SSD media, of which there are three methods: crushing, shredding, and disintegrating.

For low volume personally identifiable information (PII), a crusher can be used to crush one drive at a time, but for larger data centers and commercial clients, a shredder is more suitable. When working with classified materials, a disintegrated 2mm2 particle is necessary.

Crushers VS. Shredders VS. Disintegrators

Crushers

SEM Model 0101

The NSA listed SEM Model 0101 delivers 12,000 pounds of force via a conical punch, causing catastrophic trauma to any and all rotational drives regardless of drive size, format, and type. When compared, the Model 0101 delivers 20% more speed and crushing power than competitor models.

Shredders

SEM Model 0300 Series

The SEM Model 0300 Series is the pinnacle of SEM engineering — sleek, contained, mobile, and designed for any volume while still boasting ultimate operator health and safety with HEPA filtration and noise reduction. Destroy SSDs and more with any of the devices in the 0300 family.

Disintegrators

SEM Model SSD2-HS

SEM’s new SSD2-HS solid state disintegrator is an NSA listed,  powerhouse device that destroys solid state drives and boards to a 2mm2 final particle size, ensuring the complete destruction of any and all end-of-life SSD media, including those in casings.

HDD and SSD Shredders

Not every site is working with just HDDs or SSDs — and that’s where SEM combo shredders come in. This line of shredders offers destruction capabilities for both HDDs and SSDs as well as other small eMedia in a single unit with a dual feed chute.

Small SSD Media

The SEM 0205 Series destroys Compact Flash Type 1, SD Cards, SIM chips, SOIC-8, PLCC-32, SOIC-16, TSOP48, SDs, thumb drives, flash and optical media, cell phones, and more. Once the end-of-life data has been inserted into the device, it is crushed beyond recovery by the specially crafted and designed internal rotors, including even the tiniest microchips.
