Here's the part most people don't realize: emptying the trash, formatting a drive, or doing a factory reset doesn't remove your files. It just tells the computer that space is free to reuse. Until something happens to overwrite it, your tax returns, photos, saved passwords, and banking info are still sitting on that drive — and free recovery tools can pull them right back.
That's exactly how identity theft happens with secondhand computers. If you're selling, donating, or recycling a device — or just have an old drive in a drawer you don't trust — the only safe move is to have the data professionally wiped or the drive physically destroyed.
EndByte does this for individuals, not just companies. Same standards the businesses get — the methods banks and government agencies use — scaled down to a single drive, by mail. No minimum, no jargon, no IT department required.
Whether you send one drive or a boxful.
Working drives are securely wiped; dead or damaged ones are physically destroyed. Your call, or we'll advise.
We don't cut corners for small jobs — it's the same NIST 800-88 process the businesses get.
No minimum order. One old laptop drive is a perfectly normal request.
Proof your data was destroyed — handy if you're selling a business device or just want peace of mind.
No IT background needed. Tell us what you have and we'll handle the rest.
Destroyed drives are recycled through proper e-waste channels, not landfilled.
Tell us how many drives and what they came out of. We'll send a flat-rate price.
Pack your drive and ship it to us. We'll confirm the moment it arrives.
Wiped or physically destroyed to standard, and recycled responsibly.
We confirm it's done — with a certificate of destruction if you'd like one.
