....by the same token.....it's hard to visually verify a degaussed hard drive, whereas one that's creased, or has holes 
drilled in it....not so much....

I would recommend avoiding a pure degausser and leaning more towards physical destruction.   It's more painful to 
verify a failed degausser.

Greetings everyone,

I am looking for a decent hard drive degausser/destroyer.  Does anyone have any suggestions/recommendations?

Thanks,
Greg
