USB Disc Destroying Gadget Offers the Ultimate in Data Protection

Your data is a potential gold mine should it fall into the wrong hands and whilst you may well shred your paper documents what about any CD or DVD based data you may wish to dispose of? One possible solution is to smash the disc manually though, having tried that ourselves, take it from us that you run the risk having shards of plastic embedding themselves in your hands. A much safer and practical solution comes in the form of this USB powered CD DVD destroying gadget that will ensure that your data is wholly unreadable before being disposed of.

The CD Destroyer works by scratching a circular patter deep into the surface of CDs and DVDs to render them unreadable and can safely reduce a data disc into nothing more functional than a coaster in only five seconds.

Designed to sit conveniently on your desk the CD Destroyer even comes with a leather case allowing you to pack it into a case or work bag and with its lifetime stated to run to the ruination of up to 100,000 discs you can be safe in the knowledge that your data will not fall into the wrong hands in the foreseeable future.

The USB CD Destroyer retails for $29 which, for the protection it offers seems but a small price to pay.
