Abstract
A secured method and pressing means for rendering data stored on a plurality of data storage devices unrecoverable. The method begins in a secure room where a mobile, relocatable hydraulic pressing means including at least one beveled bar is used for holding and crushing the plurality of data storage devices simultaneously. An activation device is connected to the mobile relocatable hydraulic pressing means enabling a user to send a signal to commence the destruction of the data storage devices to form debris. The debris is packed into storage containers and transported in a secure transport device to a location for secure storage or final disposition.
