摘要

A system and method for physically destroying the data storage portion of electronic media storage devices such as hard disk drives, solid state drives and hybrid hard drives that comprises a rotatable milling cutter and a cradle for locating the electronic media storage device in a positioned to engage the milling cutter. An integrated computer is included containing a database of various parameters of different types of hard drives available. A scanning system determines information about the type of electronic media storage device being introduced in the system to be destroyed and conveys the such information to the computer whereby the database may be used to provide information to properly locate the cradle and milling cutter to destroy the data storage portion and for printing out a certificate of destruction specifically identifying the hard drive that has had its data destroyed.
