The Aleratec DVD/CD Shredder is the quick and easy way to prevent unauthorized use of secret, classified, business, and personal confidential information recorded on discarded discs.

"Sensitive data stored on CDs or DVDs can change frequently and disposing of old discs is a growing problem. With identity theft and corporate espionage increasing almost exponentially, just tossing them in the trash is more than dangerous," states Perry Solomon, Aleratec President and CEO. "An Aleratec DVD/CD Shredder makes destroying unwanted discs very easy. This light weight desktop unit shreds DVDs and CDs in seconds. With its auto start/stop feature all a customer needs to do is insert a disc and the shredder does the rest."

The great news is this innovative data security product has a low Estimated Retail Price of $44.99 making the Aleratec DVD/CD Shredder (Aleratec Part # 240143, Ingram Micro SKU U08101, Tech Data SKU 25377I), an easy addition to any Prosumer, Business, Government and Education office and due to its low price and small footprint it is ideal for small office/home office users.
