Plextor Europe has announced the launch of the PlexEraser PX-OE100E. This standalone device destroys the recording layer of a recordable CD/DVD media, making it unreadable.
Plextor today launches the environmentally friendly and high-tech alternative to the disc shredder - PlexEraser PX-OE100E. Designed for security-conscious organisations such as financial institutions, Government departments, the military, research establishments - and any company with commercially sensitive data - it is the first security device in the world which destroys data on a CD/DVD. The 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.
On average it takes the PlexEraser 3 minutes to destroy a CD or single layer DVD and 6 minutes for a dual layer DVD. No word on price yet. However, the PlexEraser is expected to be available in September 2006. More information can be found here.
