Hardware bans rely on identifiers from your PC, and your disk serial is one of the most common. There are two ways to deal with it: spoof it with software, or use a drive that has no fixed serial at all. Here is how they compare.
How Disk Serial Bans Work
When a game issues a hardware ban, the anti-cheat records identifiers from your components, such as disk serials and motherboard serials. Any new account on that PC matches the same identifiers and gets banned too. See 20 games with HWID bans in 2026 to check if your game does this.
Option 1: HWID Spoofer
A spoofer replaces your banned identifiers with new ones. A permanent spoofer, like our Permanent HWID Spoofer, changes them once for good, covering components like motherboard serials with legitimate serials and an included SMBIOS Fixer.
- Covers: several components at once
- Price: $39.99 one-time, $89.99 lifetime
- Money-back guarantee
Option 2: No HWID SSD
Our No HWID SSD is a 1TB drive built without a factory-serialized identifier. You change the drive's identity yourself, whenever you want.
- Instant SSD spoofing, as many times as you need
- No software subscription
- Price: $259.99, or $289.99 with fast shipping
Which One Do You Need?
- Banned on multiple components (disk, motherboard): the Permanent Spoofer covers them together
- Want full control of your disk identity, with unlimited changes: the No HWID SSD
- Maximum control: use the No HWID SSD for your disk and the Permanent Spoofer for the rest
Avoid Getting Banned Again
Fixing a hardware ban only helps if you don't repeat the mistake. Read HWID spoofer risks: why free spoofers fail, and consider a DMA setup that keeps the cheat off your gaming PC entirely, as explained in our DMA cards and firmware guide.
Shipping for the SSD: 10 to 14 business days (standard) or 3 to 5 (fast).
