The Proton Data PDS-88 Solid State Media Shredder lets you destroy solid state drives, smartphones, mobile phones, mini tablets, USB sticks, credit cards, and CDs/DVDs right within the office copy room. Plug into a standard outlet, insert your media through the large media flap or the small media chute, and watch as the shredder automatically destroys the material in minutes. Operators are protected by transparent chute covers to avoid any potential safety hazards. The control panel integrated into the face of the shredder makes destruction an easy process.
