No idea. I'm very pleased with it. 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'm not sure how it does it. 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).
This product punches holes in the cd/dvd in the data layer (between the plastic of the CD/DVD itself. Does this mean your data is absolutely safe. The holes are evenly spaced apart. The machine never got hot either. 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).
I've tried various CD/DVDs in computers after using this machine and none were read. I am unaware of any device which offers that ability though.
I go through as many as 10 disks a week that must be destroyed. A perfect answer to a growing need I've been looking for this type of item for a while. My heavy duty shredder can't handle it any more.
Not because I had a lot of paper to shred, but because I had sensitive data on CD's that I wanted to destroy. I really like the lack of sharp little CD tidbits. I was going to buy an expensive shredder. This little machine does the job beautifully and I get to keep my trusty old shredder and pocket the money saved.
Very efficient for the price. It is much better and cleaner than a device that shreds DVDs/CDs. It is very quick and takes just a few seconds to destroy the data on the disk. I tried to read the data back on several CD's that were run through the device and it could not read anything. Product works very well. Fits quite nicely on the desk, a rather small footprint compared to some devices. I have used both types and prefer this method over any others.
Discs are perforated with numerous little holes; data recovery would be nearly (or perhaps totally) impossible. Suggestion: Wear headphones and listen to music while you use it.Otherwise, it is perfect. They will still be entirely round, but top and bottom will be -very- perforated. 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. 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.
