Shop data destruction by need: Hard Drive Degaussers · HDD Destroyers & Crushers · SSD & Media Shredders · NSA/CSS EPL-Listed Equipment · All Proton Data Security
The Proton PDS-30 is a manual media-destruction system designed to physically damage hard drives and other electronic media without requiring electrical power. With up to 6,000 lb. of destruction force, it is suited for secure on-site media destruction, field operations, government IT and enterprise asset-disposition programs.
Why This Product Matters Today
Not every secure destruction workflow has reliable power or room for a large automated machine. A manual destroyer gives organizations a controlled physical-destruction option for field use, backup operations and smaller facilities.
Why you may need it: Choose the PDS-30 when you need a simple, power-free way to physically destroy HDDs on site instead of transporting intact drives elsewhere.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Proton PDS-30 require electricity?
No. The PDS-30 is manually operated, making it useful for field, backup and locations where electrical power is unavailable or undesirable.
What size hard drives can the PDS-30 destroy?
It is designed for common 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch hard disk drives within the supported thickness range.
Is physical crushing the same as degaussing?
No. Crushing physically damages the drive, while degaussing uses a strong magnetic field to sanitize magnetic media. Some security policies require both sanitization and physical destruction.
Is the PDS-30 NSA/CSS EPL-listed?
Do not market the PDS-30 as currently NSA/CSS EPL-listed unless the exact model appears on the latest applicable EPL. Verify current requirements before using it for classified-media workflows.
