CompTIA Server+ SK0-005 Practice Question
Your organization is retiring a database server that stored proprietary formulas and customer PII. After completing a NIST SP 800-88-compliant purge on every SSD, the security officer still requires the drives to be passed through an industrial shredder before they leave the facility. According to accepted purposes for media destruction, which reason best justifies this additional shredding step?
To comply with environmental regulations that prohibit shipping lithium-based drives across state lines.
To restore the SSDs' firmware to a reusable state so they can be redeployed without performance degradation.
To guarantee that no residual data can be reconstructed, thereby safeguarding confidential information from future disclosure.
To accelerate the recycling process by reducing the physical volume of e-waste and lowering transport costs.
