Media Duplication Systems Launches Ultimate-II Data Destruction Bundle
Media Duplication Systems (MDS), a global forerunner in secure data destruction solutions, recently announced the release of their Ultimate-II Data Destruction Bundle. This innovative offering merges two high-performance shredders—the PT808SSD and PT828HDD—into a singularly powerful physical media destruction system. Currently available for $24,889.99, this bundle provides a saving of over $6,000 when compared to the costs of purchasing these machines separately.
Why This Bundle Matters
As data protection regulations tighten across the globe, organizations face rising penalties that can reach millions due to breaches. Michelle Boyce, VP of Digital Marketing at MDS, emphasized the necessity of this bundle, stating, "Organizations can no longer rely on piecemeal methods for data destruction within their mixed-media environments. The Ultimate-II bundle diminishes compliance gaps and operational inefficiencies by amalgamating compatible destruction technologies into a unified, comprehensive solution, thereby minimizing risks and expenses."
Features of the Ultimate-II Bundle
PT808SSD Shredder
The PT808SSD is crafted specifically for the annihilation of flash-based storage devices including solid-state drives, smartphones, USBs, and mini-tablets. This shredder reduces memory chips to particles of 4mm, fulfilling stringent regulations like DIN 66399 E-3 and O-3. Unlike degaussers, which may falter with flash memory, the PT808SSD ensures irreversible destruction, adhering to essential regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, NSA, and NIST 800-88r1. Additionally, it operates at a low noise level of just 55 decibels, making it suitable for both office and data center settings.
PT828HDD Shredder
Complementing the PT808SSD, the PT828HDD utilizes high-torque shredding technology for hard drives and offers cross-cut shredding capability for other forms of media like CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray discs, and paper documents. With a robust 4.5 HP motor and continuous-duty design, it meets DIN 66399 H-4, P-3, and O-3 standards, ensuring that organizations can effectively deal with mixed-media inventories while staying compliant with various security regulations.
Enhanced Compliance and Verification Options
For clients requiring additional traceability, the Ultimate-II bundle also accommodates optional IRONCLAD audit and verification systems, models HD-2XT and HD-3XT. These advanced systems incorporate magnetic erasure alongside real-time serial number scanning and photographic documentation, resulting in a comprehensive compliance trail. Capable of processing up to 240 drives per hour, the IRONCLAD tools assist IT Asset Disposal (ITAD) companies in meeting R2V3 compliance certifications, particularly vital for government, healthcare, and financial sectors that require heightened security assurance.
The Urgency of Reliable Data Destruction
This launch comes at a time when scrutiny over data protection has intensified. Recent studies indicate that 60% of decommissioned storage still retains recoverable data, even after erasure attempts. Physical destruction remains the sole method that guarantees complete data elimination.
Accessibility and Support
The Ultimate-II bundle is available now through authorized distributors, with MDS offering installation support, operator training, and flexible financing solutions starting at $547 per month—making high-assurance data destruction more accessible for organizations of varying sizes.
