Description
About the FD 87HD
The Formax FD 87HD is a hard drive punch that drives a hole clean through discarded hard drives, rendering stored data virtually unreadable. It meets NSA/CSS requirements for Hard Drive Destruction Devices and handles both 2.5 in and 3.5 in drives without any adjustment, so mixed batches of retired drives move through without setup changes.
The punching die is hardened, nickel-plated steel, and a transparent safety shield with an LED-illuminated chamber lets the operator watch each punch while staying protected. The LED control panel includes auto reverse and auto stop jam protection, sensors halt the motor if the door is open or the waste bin is full, and the geared motor sits in an all-metal cabinet on casters with low operational noise. A convenient waste bin collects punched drives for disposal or recycling.

Frequently Asked Questions
What drives can the FD 87HD destroy?
Both 2.5 in and 3.5 in hard drives, with no adjustment needed between sizes.
Is it safe to operate in an office?
Yes — a transparent safety shield with LED-illuminated chamber, jam protection, and door/bin sensors protect the operator, and it runs with low operational noise.
How does the FD 87HD punch compare to the FD 87HDS shredder?
Both destroy 2.5 in and 3.5 in drives, but by different means. The FD 87HD deforms the drive with a 0.39 in nickel-plated steel punch on a 14-second cycle and is rated DIN 66399 H-2 — fast, quiet and office-friendly, with the drive left physically intact but unreadable. The FD 87HDS physically shreds the drive into pieces instead, which is the right choice when your policy requires the media to be reduced rather than deformed.
