The SEM Model 0101 Hard Drive Crusher features powerful, heavy duty pressing mechanisms. SEM 0101 is designed for crushing hard drives up to 1.85 thickness of an inch. The SEM 0101 Hard Drive Crusher has been “evaluated by the NSA/CSS and meets NSA and DoD compliance guidelines for the physical damage of media” with a durability rating of 204 drives/hour.

This hard drive crusher destroys all hard drives regardless of size, format or types up to 1.85″ high including desktop, laptop, and server drives. 

The SEM 0101 hard drive crusher is an ideal way to meet the destroy mandate as part of the DoD’s Degauss and Destroy specification. the SEM Model 0101 Hard Drive Crusher delivers 12,000 pounds (or 490K PSI) of force to a conical punch causing catastrophic trauma to the hard drive chassis while destroying the internal platter at the touch of the button. It can destroy up to 4 standard laptop drives or 6 ultra-thin laptop drives in one 8 second cycle. A safety interlock prevents operation of the hard drive crusher while the door is open and an emergency e-stop immediately halts operation when pressed.

The SEM 0101 Hard Drive Crusher is the only unit with a chamber large enough to fit hard drives mounted with rails or handles from hot-swap trays.
