What is Degaussing?

A degausser is a machine that removes the magnetic field (data) stored on tape and disk media. When exposed to the powerful magnetic field of a degausser, the magnetic data on a tape or hard disk is neutralized or erased. Degaussing guarantees that magnetic media is erased; it is the standard method of magnetic data destruction. Using the right degausser will guarantee that your information is no-longer retrievable.

Degaussing is simply a demagnetization process to erase a hard drive or tape. Degaussers contain a magnetic field that is measured in units of gauss or oersted’s. All magnetic media has a level of coercively which directly correlates to oersted’s. Depending on the oersted’s level of magnetic media, different degaussers must be used to properly eradicate all data
