Hard Disk Drive
Data Sanitization
A hard disk drive (HDD), hard disk, hard drive, or fixed disk is an electro-mechanical data storage device that stores and retrieves digital data using magnetic storage and one or more rigid rapidly rotating platters coated with magnetic material. The platters are paired with magnetic heads, usually arranged on a moving actuator arm, which read and write data to the platter surfaces. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored and retrieved in any order.
The process of permanently erasing data from the hard disk so that no data can be recovered from it by any means is called hard disk sanitization. To do so, several data erasure methods with advanced algorithms are developed based on the standards set up by different countries.
The sanitization of the hard disk becomes a necessity when selling, donating, returning, reusing, or disposing of your hard disk, which is one of the most significant, IT assets.
Types of Hard Disk Drives
There are many types of hard disk drive available in market to store data. Currently, we can group hard drives into several types:
- SATA 3.5″ Hard Disk Drive ( Mostly used in Desktop PC’s )
- SATA 2.5″ Hard Disk Drive ( Mostly used in Laptops / Notebooks )
- USB External Hard Disk Drive ( Portable Drives – includes 2.5″ & 3.5″ Drives )
- IDE / PATA – 3.5″ Hard Disk Drive ( Old Generation Drives used in Desktop PC’s )
- IDE / PATA – 2.5″ Hard Disk Drive ( Old Generation Drives used in Laptops / Notebooks )
- SCSI / SAS – 3.5″ & 2.5″ Hard Disk Drives ( Mostly Used in Servers / NAS / SAN Storage Devices )
- Micro SATA – 1.8″ Hard Disk Drives ( Mostly Used in Laptops & Other Digital Storage Devices )
All of the above drives are supported by us to sanitize data permanently. We use different kind of algorithms to destroy data permanently depends upon the category structure of the drive.
