Zorluk: OrtaData Destruction and Disposal Methods

An IT technician is decommissioning legacy corporate workstations that contain a mix of magnetic hard disk drives (HDDs) and solid-state drives (SSDs) containing confidential employee information. The drives must be sanitized prior to transferring the hardware to an external recycling facility. Which of the following actions represent valid data destruction methods for these storage media? (Select TWO.)

  1. Physical shredding or disintegration of both HDDs and SSDs into tiny physical fragmentsCevap
  2. Exposing the magnetic hard disk drives to a high-capacity degausserCevap
  3. C
    Exposing the solid-state drives to a degausser to clear flash memory cells
  4. D
    Performing a standard operating system quick format on all drive volumes

Cevap

Physical shredding of both drive types and degaussing the magnetic hard disk drives are valid data destruction methods.
Physical shredding or disintegration destroys the physical structure of both HDDs and SSDs, rendering data recovery impossible regardless of storage architecture. Degaussing subjects magnetic storage to a powerful magnetic field that disrupts magnetic domains, permanently destroying data on HDDs.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the media types being decommissioned
The media consists of both magnetic HDDs (magnetic domain storage) and SSDs (flash memory electronic storage).
Different storage technologies require specific sanitization and destruction techniques.
2
Evaluate degaussing against magnetic vs solid-state media
Degaussing works on HDDs by destroying magnetic fields, but has no sanitization effect on non-magnetic SSD flash memory.
Degaussers disrupt magnetic domains; semiconductors do not store data magnetically.
3
Evaluate physical destruction across media types
Physical shredding or disintegration renders both magnetic platters and flash memory chips physically destroyed.
Physical destruction prevents raw data extraction from any storage medium.
