Plextor LLC sent out a press release this morning, announcing the PlexEraser PX-OE100E. Using a laser beam, the PlexEraser destroys the data-logging portion of a CD/DVD disc, making it unreadable and unrecoverable.
Plextor LLC, a leading developer and manufacturer of high-performance digital media equipment, today announced PlexEraser (PX-OE100E), the world's first CD/DVD drive to enable security-conscious organizations to destroy discs using a method that is both environmentally friendly and secure.
PlexEraser is a standalone unit that does not require a personal computer to operate. This high-tech alternative to the disc shredder was designed for organizations in such industries as finance, government/military, and research - as well as any company with commercially sensitive data. PlexEraser enables discs to be destroyed without the organic dye leaking from the disc - something not possible with a disc shredder/manual shattering - and leaves them ready to be recycled without any data being recoverable.
The PlexEraser PX-OE100E is expected to ship in November for a suggested retail price of $249.99. More information can be found here.
