Degaussing
Another Element of Data Destruction
Degaussing is the process of totally erasing data by reducing or eliminating an
unwated magnetic field (information) stored on tape and disk media. A degausser
is a machine that changes the magnetic domain (where the data is stored) of magnetic
data storage devices. When a degausser is applied to magnetic domains the
information is scrambled into random patters, making the data stored in the magnetic
domain unreadable. The correct use of degausser will ensure that information is no
longer retreivable.
TS-1 Degausser - NSA Approved
Our NSA approved is used for optimum data destruction. The TS-1 uses a proven solid-
state technology to generate a high-powered erasure field that's far superior to the fields
produced by the read/write heads in hard drives and tape drives. The 20,000-gauss
power magnetically erases a wide selection of high-coercivity hard drives and tapes
ensuring top-secret classified data can never be recovered. The TS-1 Degausser meets
Security Agency (NSA) and Department of Defense (DOD) requirements for purging
classified information.
