SelecShred™ (HDD & SSD)

SelecShred™

SelecShred™ is an SSD shredder and hard drive shredder in one machine — a split-feed opening takes both media at once, reducing hard drives to a 1-1/2″ (38.1 mm) strip and solid-state to a 3/16″ × 3/8″ (4.8 × 9.5 mm) cross-cut — from the compact 9HD5 to the high-capacity 12HD20.

SSD shredder questions


Why do SSDs need a smaller cut than hard drives?

An SSD stores data on small flash memory chips, so a cut sized for hard drive platters can leave chips whole. SelecShred™ cuts solid state drives to a 3/16″ × 3/8″ (4.8 × 9.5 mm) cross-cut.

Can one machine shred both hard drives and SSDs?

Yes. SelecShred™ has a split-feed opening that takes both at once — hard drives to a 1-1/2″ (38.1 mm) strip and SSDs to a 3/16″ × 3/8″ (4.8 × 9.5 mm) cross-cut.

How many drives can SelecShred™ destroy?

The 9HD5 destroys 12–15 a minute, the 12HD10 25–30 and the 12HD20 40–45.
