If you're so inclined, forward the name of the vendor and/or sales droid
to EDUCAUSE. Such behavior is not condoned nor appreciated by anyone.
And if the name(s) were to become public, would almost certainly do far
more harm than good.

Thank you everyone for your response; they are much appreciated.

On a side note, what wasn’t appreciated was that a vendor apparently
monitoring this list cold called me about their degausser product,
noticing that I had mentioned a need “on line” (note this is the only
place I have inquired). I thought there were list rules about such; I
guess next time I will need to clarify that I am looking for
suggestions/recommendations from higher ed peers, not vendors or
resellers (sigh).

We use the V660. It has worked well for us.

Greetings everyone,

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

Thanks,
