We were using KILLDISK for awhile, that was a little slow, especially
when we had a lot of drives to wipe.  Then we got some newer
Imagemasters that had secure wiping built in, we could do 16 at a shot.

Good day,

Has anyone gone down the path of shredding hard drives before they leave
your custody?  Anyone have industrial shredders to recommend?

Our procedures currently are to degauss them but that's a hard one to
verify
that it worked. We're outsourcing most of our media and paper shredding
but
HDs are a separate fee ($20/drive) and not done onsite.

Thanks,
Chris
