Works very well. I ran my CD and DVD "test subjects" thru about 10 times and the discs would physically start to curl up, like a potato chip.

Which would further prevent any attempt to read them.

Of course, I was just playing around with this new toy, but I think just once thru the unit will really mess up any chances at recovery of data.

Also, my box, bought via Office Depot included FIVE software titles: [reportedly worth $149.99]
1. Hacker smacker - firewall
2. Stop Spam
3. Internet Cleanup
4. Stuffit - standard edition
5. Restore it 3

And 2 more bonuses:

1. FREE subscription to the spamslicer program [Home edition]
or $50.00 off the business edition.
[I'm not going to type it all out, but details of what spam slicer is and the program available to anyone that buys this unit, are available at (...)].

2. ID theft prevention - (...)


FINAL CONCLUSION:


I think this item is more than sufficient for the home and/or small business user.

Norazza company offers larger data disc destroyer units for folks that need to destroy massive quantities of discs, on a regular basis.

2 thumbs up !

I work for a small business and we can't afford the risks of data theft. Having this unit has put my mind to ease, especially since I work with very sensitive data.

If you love gadgets, this is an extremely cool product to have. Its sleek and within seconds destroys your data. Its very compact and heavy duty, so its durable and can easily fit in a home office, as well as any place at work. You just insert the disc and within seconds thousand of tiny imprints are made on both sides of the disc making the disc unreadable.

This is a great product because it securely destroys the data without having to shred the disc and having shattered broken pieces of plastic everywhere. For anyone who has owned or operated a disc shredder, they are very messy. This is an excellent alternative. Is so quick and easy to use, anyone can operate it.

This should be a household requirement, as much as any other appliance in your home.

I received my Norazza Data Destroyer within a couple days of placing my order which was very fast service.

I strongly recommend this product for personal as well as for business use!!!

Product works very well. Fits quite nicely on the desk, a rather small footprint compared to some devices. It is very quick and takes just a few seconds to destroy the data on the disk. It is much better and cleaner than a device that shreds DVDs/CDs. I have used both types and prefer this method over any others. I tried to read the data back on several CD's that were run through the device and it could not read anything. Very efficient for the price.

I was looking for an innovative product that could quickly and affordably destroy a large number of cd/dvds. I work for a small business and we have lots of disks to be destroyed on a regular basis. This was an instant solution and very affordable. We are so pleased that we plan on making it mandatory to have on everyone's desktop! DON'T HESITATE, BUY IT NOW!!!!

I bought this product because my paper shredders have jammed and failed and I did not want to get a CD/DVD shredder with similar problems (especially at their price). This product punches holes in the cd/dvd in the data layer (between the plastic of the CD/DVD itself. I'm not sure how it does it. I've tried various CD/DVDs in computers after using this machine and none were read. Does this mean your data is absolutely safe? No idea. The holes are evenly spaced apart. i guess if someone has a device which will make the CD/DVD available without mounting it as a drive and you have data that fits between the holes (this is likely as data does not take up a lot of space) and they can low-level read the disk to pull data, I guess it could be read. I am unaware of any device which offers that ability though. To give an idea of speed, I ran 48 discs through the machine in under 10 minutes (I was taking my time and letting the machine rest, though it wasn't needed). The machine never got hot either. I'm very pleased with it.

I received this item a week ago and am very pleased with it. The only downside I have found is that when it first pops what I assume is the seal over the CD/DVD, the resulting noise is a VERY loud POP for such a little machine! Suggestion: Wear headphones and listen to music while you use it!

Otherwise, it is perfect! Discs are perforated with numerous little holes; data recovery would be nearly (or perhaps totally) impossible. After running my discs through this, I have no qualms about throwing out my old discs from backup sessions.

*Note* Do not expect it to shred your CDs/DVDs the way paper shredders do. They will still be entirely round, but top and bottom will be -very- perforated!

I purchased this item on 3/8/2008 & received it on 3/12/2008. It's everything it's advertised to be. It waffels both sides of the DVD or CD destroying the data & rendering them unreadable. It's relatively quiet & compact, taking up little room on a desk. It's simple to use & the fact that it doesn't actually shred the CD/DVD's causing a mess, is a plus. No more protective eyewear & work gloves. Also, the price is right. I highly recommend this product.

This thing is simple...plug it in, turn it on and send a cd through the slot. It comes out the other side with dents/scratches all over it.

I was hoping it would DESTROY them...I wanted little pieces of flaming plastic falling out. Heh.

Works well, I leave it out in the Copy Center for any/all people to use and everybody seems satisfied.

The Norazza machine works great. I'm an IT security manager and the mechanism this device uses to destroy the CD/DVD renders it such that if you insert it into a drive, the drive doesn't even recognize that it's there. It probably wouldn't be suitable for data discs that have extremely sensitive (military) data on them but for the purpose of compliance with many applicable federal and local laws this machine will do the trick.

I've been looking for this type of item for a while. I go through as many as 10 disks a week that must be destroyed. My heavy duty shredder can't handle it any more. A perfect answer to a growing need
