Simply load a hard drive into one of two cutting chambers and close the safety shield. With the push of a button, the rugged solid steel blades grind the hard drive into random sized pieces 1.6” wide and smaller for 3.5” HDD hard drives and .19” wide and smaller for 2.5” HDD & SSD drives. The shredded pieces fall into a convenient molded plastic waste bin for proper disposal or recycling.
