Digital data storage devices come in many shapes and sizes and use different materials of construction. Each type of device presents its own physical destruction challenges. intimus understands the need to have a comprehensive line of products to address these challenges.

SSD Media comes in many forms and uses Solid State technology to store data on small chips. SSD Drives, USB Sticks, Flash Media and even Smartphones can be destroyed in virtually every Digital Media Shredder intimus manufactures, however because the data bearing chips are so small and numerous an SSD Shredder which produces a smaller particle size must be used to ensure that each chip is damaged to prevent data recovery. intimus offers two models of SSD Shredders. The FlashEx is a quiet, compact devices suitable for use in office environments, and the SSD Granulator is an industrial unit built for higher volume destruction.

HDD Media is comprised of traditional hard disk drives, laptop drives, server drives and other magnetic media including computer tapes, floppy disks, and audio/video cassettes. Typically these items can be shredded to a larger waste particle than SSDs, however due to their large size, rugged chassis and internal platters standard HDDs require a more powerful destruction device like the intimus HDD Gladiator or HDD Granulator. 

For the ultimate in flexibility and versatility many business are opting for a single machine to handle both types of devices. The intimus SSD-HDD Granulator is equally adept at destroying SSDs and HDDs. It has been designed to handle todays destruction requirements as well as future needs.
