Can I use this bucket for burning credit card receipts, sensitive information, etc.?

I guess you could but it probably wouldn't hold up to that kind of us very long.

I got the buckets to use as plant holders on my porch. Why don't you get a shredder to dispose of your sensitive stuff (neater and no dangerous fire involved).

First, I think this is wired ethernet only. Second, doing what you are asking is not really practical. If you are concerned about losing your data to fire you should be looking at off-site file storage.

I doubt anyone could fish documents out of this device. I work where sensitive documents are placed in the device and the slot is thin so would make tampering a challenge. The slot is not wide and works well for people depositing envelopes with HIPPA protected information.

I dont see why not, the basic function of this device is to read whatever info is programmed into a magnetic strip on a card. So if that card is an ID or a credit card it will take the info and plug it into whatever program/software you have open to accept info. For instance, if I had Microsoft Word open on my PC and I swiped a card, the info programmed into the strip would come up on the open Word document, its almost like a keyboard but you swipe instead of type. I hope this ll makes sense for you :)

No it cannot do that you will need to transfer them to a digital file and burn a master off you're computer. This just makes copys ; it works good although.

I don't know that I would trust it for a hard drive either. You could always bet a 2nd, much smaller fire box to put inside if it is that important. Or you could backup your hard drive to a cloud service. Like Carbonite or some other.

this was a gift and he hasn't used it yet . But on the box it says it can be used to cut credit cards, gift cards, id cards, plastic lids and endless kinds of materials. I would think that if the metal is as this as a credit card it would work

Yes, great for that purpose. Just remember to back up your files regularly :)

Do not try. It is supposed to shred one credit card but failed. I am now trying to unjam because of the credit card fiasco. I would not buy this product again.

I have used it for a lot of different things. It can be used as a simple hard disk, but it will have to be formatted first.

I can't say that I know. It will work similar to a neat receipt tho. I used it to copy a dr. License once. A little dark, but it worked in a pinch

The device works independently of a computer attachment, so in that sense yes; in the worst case you could just use the device while it's not connected, paginate when in doubt, and connect it as a mass storage device to offload the pages you've written after maxing out the memory...

I honestly have never tried it that way. I would assume so. I usually open all my mail and feed it one page at a time (some times 2) so that I don't put much stress/heat build-up on the shredder. This machine does shred credit cards and CDs with ease in their own slots. The machine works great and I have no complaints.

Assuming the hard drive is functional, yes. I just used it to retrieve old data for a relative.

Never tried it, i have used it for its advertised use, scanning credit cards.

I'm not sure my son was running the business before I took over and he is too busy with his other business to look for receipts or anything. All I know is the machine has never worked and like I said, when we went to use it the client said, oh it's smelling like its burning.I SHUT IT OFF AND HAVE NEVER USED IT SINCE.

Absolutely. Just use as directed. You might be surprised about how little you really need in the bucket. I would suggest using the two bucket method.
