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).
