Magnetic and flash media

Most Indian organisations run a two-machine cell: a Proton degausser for HDDs and tapes, and the PDS-88 for everything flash. We quote the pair together.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to the questions Indian buyers ask most often. Cannot find yours? Call us — we answer technical questions on the phone.

Which Proton shredder do you supply in India?

The PDS-88 Solid State Media Shredder. It destroys SSDs, smartphones, mobile phones, mini-tablets, USB sticks, credit cards, SIM cards, CDs and DVDs, and it runs from a standard wall outlet in an office copy room.

Why can't a degausser destroy an SSD?

An SSD stores data in flash memory cells, not as a magnetic pattern on a platter. There is nothing for a magnetic field to randomise. Flash media must be physically destroyed — shredded, crushed or incinerated.

Which Proton products have you excluded from this site?

The Proton 104 and Proton 105 multimedia shredders are not offered through Quridge in India and are therefore not listed on this site. The PDS-88 is the solid-state shredder in our range.

Is the PDS-88 loud or messy for an office?

It is designed for an office copy room rather than an industrial plant. It is considerably quieter and tidier than a heavy industrial shredder, and the transparent chute covers plus the i-control panel keep operators safe.
