Recycling Your Old Hard Drive

Modern computer technology has boosted our quality of life. Electronics facilitate our entertainment, our style of communication, and how we access information. A music collection that occupied several shelves in your home now fits in the palm of your hand. Files on a single computer have replaced reams of paper stored in rows of filing cabinets. Laptops, netbooks, and smartphones have untethered us from the confines of brick-and-mortar offices. With computers in the internet age, people are more connected and can achieve more work, increasing the profitability of the human race.

But what happens when your computer gets old? What should you do with your hard drive when you are done with the old computer? Some people sell their computer to someone else and use the money for a new machine. Others will junk the old computer or have it hauled off, with the hard drive still intact.

Stop to think for a minute though. Is it wise to let your hard drive fall into someone else’s hands? The drive may contain sensitive data that could be used for identity theft. Can you trust that they will not use it to harm you?

The Data Rescue Center, a data recovery company in Livermore, California, has a solution. We offer a hard drive recycling program to safely and securely dispose of your old hard drive. Send your old drive to us, and we will electronically wipe the data. Our media clean-erase tools use Department of Defense specifications. When we are finished with the wiping process, no information can be retrieved. That is guaranteed.

The Data Rescue Center and our parent company, Prosoft Engineering, have been in the file recovery business for a long time. We have worked with government agencies and publicly traded corporations. We understand the importance of keeping data secure.
