Goes to the media
No need to move drives back to a central sanitisation room.
Take the destruction to the media. The Proton 1100 is a handheld wand that sanitises drives, diskpacks, drum memories and tapes where they are, rather than in a central sanitisation room.
Some sites simply cannot be centralised. A branch with twenty drives and no safe way to ship them back to a data centre, a client site where the media must not leave the building, a field engineering team carrying spares — for those situations a wand is the only realistic answer.
The 1100 applies a full-cycle positive and negative field, which clears the remnant magnetic signature that a conventional erase or reformat leaves behind. It is tested for perpendicular magnetic disk devices and media up to 5,000 Oe, and it is paced by the operator so the field is held for the full cycle rather than swept.
No need to move drives back to a central sanitisation room.
Positive and negative pulse clears the signature left by erase and reformat.
Perpendicular magnetic disk devices and media up to 5,000 Oe.
One engineer can sanitise and destroy across branches and client sites.
| Specification | Proton 1100 |
|---|---|
| Field strength | Up to 5,000 Oe |
| Cycle | Operator paced |
| Use | On-site field destruction |
| Media | Disk drives, diskpacks, drum memories, tapes |
| Pair with | PDS-75 manual crusher for site destruction |
The situations this is most often specified for, based on what we are asked to quote most often.
Disk drives, diskpacks, drum memories and magnetic tape up to 5,000 Oe, including perpendicular magnetic disk devices.
For magnetic media, yes. Most organisations pair it with the PDS-75 manual crusher so one engineer can sanitise and physically destroy on site rather than making two trips.
Yes, and it is included with every machine we supply. The cycle is operator-paced, so the training is about holding the field for the full cycle and recording the asset correctly.
