Our degaussers will completely erase all data from hard drives and high coercivity tapes rendering them unusable.
It important to note that not all degaussers will erase hard drives. The field strength and the orientation of the degaussing field need to be able to penetrate the aluminum housing of the hard drive and be strong enough to reverse the polarity of the high coercivity magnetic particles on the disk platters.
Degaussing gives you in-house control of all sensitive and private information. Computers have been designed to be resilient. They allow information to be recovered if accidentally deleted or even if the hard drive has been reformatted. Even after deleting or reformatting the hard drive, magnetic patterns of existing data still exists on the disk platters. Degaussing demagnetizes the entire hard drive including the disk platters – leaving no magnetic patterns on the hard drive.
