HD-1 All Media / Hard Drive Degausser |
|
| The
HD-1 Professional Degausser is designed specifically to erase
high-coercivity media. High coercivity media includes hard
drives and all metal particle tape formats such as Beta SP, Beta
SX, Digital BetaCam, D1-D5, 3490 data cartridges and more.

Model 8000 Hard Drive/Media Degausser |
|
| The Model
8000 Table Top unit is a low-noise, compact unit with 'industrial
strength' flux fields. It features a foot-control for hands-free
operation and can degauss a wide range of magnetic media, including
1/4", 1/2", 1" and 2" thick reels, and up to
16" diameter reels. [

| The HDTD-8300 Hard Drive / Tape Degausser for Large Network Hard Drives |
|
|
The HDTD-8300 is designed to permanently remove all data and formatting from today's hard drives and data tapes. Stored energy is quickly released to produce short, focused erasing fields that penetrate through the hard drive housing, changing the magnetic properties contained on the data disk platters. The HDTD-8300 has a larger energy bank allowing the HDTD-8300 to erase physically larger and higher coercivity hard drives, a necessity in the ever changing data storage environment. [ More >>] |
| CDS-4400ED Eliminator |
|
| Today's magnetic recording formats allow for more data storage, better video resolution, less video noise and higher frequency recording. The problem is these super-high coercivity media formats - 2400 oersteds for tape and 3000 oersteds for hard drives - are increasing and are very difficult to erase. Conventional tape erasers just can't do it. The solution is the CDS-4400ED Eliminator! [

P1100 Degaussing wand |
|
| Department
of Defense Certified. The P1100 Magnetic Media Degaussing Wand safely
and effectively erases a wide range of magnetic media. It can be
used to degauss, disk drives, disk packs, multi-platter disk packs,
flexible disks, and any other flat surface magnetic memory.

PD-8500 Hard Drive Physical Destroyer |
|
| Complies with GLB Act and HIPAA Mandates for hard drive disposal.
The PD-8400 Physical Destroyer damages hard drives in order to ensure the information contained on the hard drive is no longer accessible.
The PD-8400 meets compliance standards for mandates requiring destruction of hard drives containing private and confidential information before hard drive disposal. [

| PD-8700 Hard Drive Degausser and Destroyer |
|
|
The PD-8700 is designed to provide a safe, convenient and effective method of destroying confidential information contained on hard drives. The PD-8700 degausses and then physically destroys the hard drive ensuring that the information previously contained on the hard drive is permanently erased and destroyed. The PD-8700 meets compliance standards for government mandates requiring complete elimination of private and confidential information stored on hard drives prior to disposal. [ More >>] |
| MHDD Manual Hard Drive Destroyer |
|
The model MHDD, Manual
Hard Drive Destroyer, is designed for the destruction of all standard hard
drives. It is specifically designed
for emergency situations when electricity may not be available and quick
destruction is a must.[ More >>] |
| MAG EraSURE |
|
The Fujitsu Mag EraSURET ME-P3E degausser leverages leading-edge technology, using a rare earth permanent magnet to degauss all magnetically recorded data. [ More >>] |
Hard Drive Degaussers / Hard Drive Destroyers
With new regulations
in effect like HIPAA and GLB-Act, keeping company, employee and customer
information private is mandatory. Our degaussers will help you meet
these new physical safeguard regulations by completely demagnetizing all
data from hard drives and tapes.
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.
Although the
degausser models listed below have been designed to erase hard drives,
their strong degaussing fields will also erase today's high-coercivity
tape such as DLT, SDLT, 3480's, AIT and more. (except for the P1100 Degaussing Wand)
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.
Once degaussed,
the hard drive will be unusable and will not be recognized by the computer.
In fact, the erasure is so deep that the factory written servo tracks
on the disk platters are also demagnetized leaving no reference points
for the read heads to key in on.
Note: Non-working
hard drives contain all of the original data and can be easily recovered.
Degaussing provides the quickest (under 30 seconds) and most complete
erasure of all hard drives.
Frequently
Asked Questions
When should
I degauss my media?
Media
should be degaussed before media re-use and media disposal. With
all of the un-erase utilities available, you shouldn't risk your data
getting into the wrong hands. Therefore, it should be part of your
computer policy to degauss all hard drives before returning the hard drives
for warranty repair, before donating to charity, before transferring your
computer to another department or before disposal of the computer.
What about hard drives that don't work?
Hard drives that are non-operational still retain information on the disc
platter. Degaussing magnetically erases all of the information contained
on the disc platters, thereby making the hard drive safe for disposal.
Remember, hard drives do not have to be hooked up to be degaussed.
Are Hard Drives
re-usable after degaussing?
No, hard drives are not reusable after degaussing because Data-link's hard
drive degaussers erase all data, formatting and control track (servo track)
information. This information is contained on hard drives in magnetic
patterns. Hard drive degaussers remove all magnetic patterns
eliminating the possibility of recovery and ready the hard drive for disposal.
