Re: Degausser recommendations

[Ben Woelk <fbwis () RIT EDU>]

Kevin,

Thanks for the reference.



One of the drivers for purchasing a degausser is to be able to remove
information from damaged hard drives before disposing of them or returning
them to the computer vendor when erasure is not an option.



A leading candidate is the Garner HD-3
(http://www.garner-products.com/HD-3.htm). That will handle both hard drives
and tapes and has a relatively high gauss rating (8500 oe)
