Why RAID Array Destruction Is Critical for Data Security
RAID arrays store data across multiple disks using striping, mirroring, and parity techniques. This means that even a single surviving drive from a RAID array can potentially contain enough data fragments to reconstruct sensitive information. Standard data wiping methods that work on individual drives may not adequately address the complex data distribution patterns used in RAID configurations.
For businesses subject to HIPAA, FACTA, SOX, or GLBA regulations, improper disposal of RAID arrays can result in significant fines and legal liability. The only way to guarantee complete data destruction from a RAID array is physical shredding, which reduces each drive to small metal fragments. New Jersey Shredding follows DoD 5220.22-M standards and NIST 800-88 guidelines for media sanitization, providing the highest level of assurance for your organization.
Additionally, many RAID controllers contain cache memory that may store recent data. Our destruction process includes the RAID controller card itself, ensuring no residual data remains on any component of the array.
