UltraErase - Hard Disc Drive Repair and Erasure

硬盘驱动器（HDD）和越来越多的固态驱动器（SSD/NVMe）被广泛用于数据存储;然而，首选的长期存储介质是HDD，特别是对于企业应用程序。硬盘是无处不在的，但他们最终失败，并鉴于IT设备往往是围绕他们开发，一个失败和过时的硬盘可以使整个机器过时，需要更换。例如，一些ATM仍然在Windows XP上运行，并且需要不再制造的特定HDD。失效硬盘的处理还有其他问题，包括删除其存储的数据，以及根据Wessels法规在欧盟进行物理处理，以回收，再利用和最大限度地减少垃圾填埋。Ultratec是硬盘翻新市场的专家，并且最近开发了能够快速识别HDD上的故障扇区的技术，并且除了清除盘的数据之外，还能够对盘进行重新格式化并证明它以供客户或提供转售。令人惊讶的是，很少有公司提供这项服务，大多数硬盘驱动器的碎片废料。Ultratec建议开发一个完全集成的系统来擦除和擦除硬盘，以降低成本和提高生产率。

Hard Disc Drives (HDD) and increasingly Solid-State Drives (SSD/NVMe) are widely used for data storage; However, the preferred long-term storage medium is HDD particularly for enterprise applications. HDD's are ubiquitous but they eventually fail and given that IT equipment is often developed around them, a failed and obsolete HDD can make the whole machine obsolete requiring its replacement. For e.g. some ATM's still run on Windows XP and require a specific HDD which are no longer manufactured. The disposal of failed HDD has other issues including the erasure of their stored data and their physical disposal in the EU under the WEEE regulations to recycle, reuse and minimise landfill.Ultratec is a specialist in the HDD refurbishment market, and has recently developed technology that can rapidly identify the failed sectors on a HDD and in addition to clearing the disc of data can refurbish the disc and certify it for reuse by the client or offer it for resale. There are surprisingly few companies that offer this service and the majority of HDD's are fragmented for scrap. Ultratec proposes to develop a fully integrated system to refurbish and erase HDD's to reduce costs and increase productivity.
