Who we are and why security comes first
A company overview: what Mansfield Technologies does, how a mobile destruction visit works, and why we put your data security ahead of our resale value on every job.
Watch on YouTubeThree things to take from it: why every device is disassembled and its storage destroyed rather than resold; how a visit runs from the count to the certificate; and what a company of veterans and former Intelligence Community members means in practice, which is that your retired hardware is handled the way we were trained to handle classified material.
Inside the mobile destruction trailer
A walk through the small trailer and the three machines inside it: the NSA-listed degausser, the solid-state disintegrator, and the hard drive shredder, and how a drive moves from one to the next.
Watch on YouTubeWhat you see: the Data Security LM-1 degausser and how a drive passes through it in seconds; the GigaBiter disintegrator and the 2 mm dust it produces from an SSD; the Allegheny shredder for the platters; and how the three are arranged so one crew can move a pallet of drives through all of them in an afternoon. If you are deciding where the truck should park at your building, this is the video to watch.
Don’t make this mistake with your HAMR drives
How heat-assisted magnetic recording drives work, why no degausser can erase them, and why a cleared facility needs a sanitization plan before the first HAMR drive is installed. The NSA has since made the rule explicit; see the case study.
Watch on YouTubeThe point in one sentence: HAMR drives write with a laser-heated head and their platters cannot be erased by any degausser, so a facility that degausses and reuses will one day release data intact. The video covers how to spot a HAMR drive (post-2020, the Class 1 laser label), why the February 2026 NSA manual limits classified HAMR to incineration, and what to do with the ones in your rack today.
