For those who prefer to play it counter-espionage safe when it comes to their data, EDR Solution’s Hard Disk Crusher will do what it says on the tin: crush hard discs into MacBook-Air-thin wafers of collapsed, unreadable data. The site claims it can crush up to 6 hard disks a minute, and is even as green-friendly as a device of incredible destructive power can be: although it runs off a standard 110v outlet, you can also use a hand-pump, which will crush your drive in 15 pumps. The price for all this paranoia? A staggering 12 grand. And chances are, if you’re willing to pay that to protect your privacy, you’re not going to be happy until you atomize your old data for ultimate unrecoverability
