It's a machine designed to destroy hard drives. They use a hydraulic ram to bend it and shatter the platters.

Which is overkill when you can get the same result by just drilling a hole into the drive.

It depends on how many drives you have to destroy. These things can be pretty quick and do hundreds or thousands of drives without much work.
