You can never be to careful when it comes to destroying or erasing your old, unwanted CD and DVD media, especially considering they may contain critical backup data or other important files. Sure, its fun to break them in half and watch those little pieces go flying across the room, or to hack away at it with a sharp object hoping to add enough dents and dings to render the disc unreadable, but why not just do it the easy way.

Of course with home shredders being more and more powerful, lots will easily shred your CD or DVD, but if you are still stuck with a paper only shredder (myself included) and are getting tired of cleaning up splinters (myself included) from your media then why not try the Disc Eraser.

The Disc Eraser is a small plastic device that not only offers secure data destruction with one quick swipe, it actually guarantees it. Simply insert the disc into the device, fold down the cover and pull the slider quickly across the disc. Sounds easy enough. The Disc Eraser is currently available and retails for $15.99.
