Degaussers

HD-2 Hard Drive & Tape Degausser - also erases DLT, SDLT, LTO, 3490 & Other formats

HD-2 Features Easy to Use Drawer Continuous Duty 60 Second Cycle Time Light Weight (42 lbs.) Erases high coercivity hard drives & tapes Audio Verification Solid State Design Micro-processor controlled One Button Operation

Please note:  Degaussing of hard drives erases all data, formatting and the factory installed magnetic servo tracks located on the hard disc platters.  Therefore, the hard drive will be unusable after degaussing.

HD-2 Operations:

The HD-2 is exceptionally user-friendly. Simply place your media into the drawer on the right side of the HD-2 and push the "Erase" button. Within 60 seconds your media is erased. Open the drawer and remove your erased media. It just doesn't get any easier than that!

Safeguards:

The HD-2 has been independently tested and certified to meet both ANSI and CE standards. Built-in safeguards check the stored power before each erase cycle ensuring complete erasure every time. Audible tones and lighted push buttons report the status of the HD-2 to the operator.

Degauss vs. Overwrite:

The HD-2 produces an erasing field many times stronger than the erasing fields produced by the read/write heads in hard drives and tape drives. The field strength along with the ecompassing magnetic field ensure the data is no longer recoverable by computer or laboratory attacks. Since the HD-2 does not rely on software, the HD-2 will also completely and permanently erase failed and damaged hard drives regardless of the operating system or interface.

Government Mandates:

The HD-2 will assist you in meeting compliance standards for government mandates requiring complete elimination of sensitive information stored on magnetic media prior to re-use or disposal including:

• PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry) Data Security Standard

• NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) Guidelines for Media Sanitization

• NIST SP 800-36

• NIST SP 800-88

• HIPAA (Health Information Portability and Accountability Act)

• PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act)

• GLBA (Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act)

• California Senate Bill 1386
