Our Hard Drive Testing Techniques
Every hard drive we sell (or install inside a computer) is fully tested with Hitachi/IBM DFT(Drive Fitness Test) utility, SMART tests HD, Checks all sectors on the drive are sequentially read and written to, then read back from the original testing sector, next we run PCcheck which does hi-low seek, funnel seek, track to track seek, random seek, linear verify and random verify on each sector, next we use the old fashion ms-dos format and if the testing drive tries to recover any allocation units it is sent to our recycle area. By the time all our sector integrity tests are completed without interruption you can be assured the drive will truly be error free..
Our Hard Drive Erasing/Destroy Methods
We santize hard drives in line with Department of Defense standards. Many people think destroying the hard drive physically there would be no chance of recovering data, however, even some of the smallest pieces of a hard drive platter can contain data that can be reconstructed through forensics. If we are not able to wipe the drive by conventional means we take extra means to destroy every piece of a hard drive platter that may contain data. The drive is then is buried underground (disassembled).
