Hard Drive Degausser & Tape Degausser HD-2XT IRONCLAD

High-Speed Degausser

With a 10,000 gauss field, the HD-2XT completely erasures all data on hard drives and tapes in under 8 seconds.  IRONCLAD automatically generates a certificate and report to prove it!  Garner is the only brand of degaussers and destroyers with IRONCLAD, an erasure, and destruction verification system that automatically captures a JPG image of the media immediately after it is degaussed and generates a proof-of-destruction certificate for audit and archival purposes.

IRONCLAD Benefits and Features

  • 10,000 gauss completely erases all data on hard drives and tape in ~ 7 seconds
  • Tracks and stores media serial numbers, user ID, witness ID, and date in a password-protected system
  • Provides proof media was degaussed by capturing a JPG image of the hard drive immediately after degaussing
  • Records gauss field strength
  • Informs operator of erasure results with a green "PASS" or red "FAIL" after each cycle
  • Generates exportable JPG images and destruction results for audit and archival purposes in PDF, CSV, and Excel file formats
  • Operates in 2 modes:  "Verification Mode" with prompts for new operators; and "Processing Mode" for faster processing
  • Operates off a standard wall outlet
  • Can be installed on existing HD-2 series models that are equipped with USB ports

 

Best Practices: Degauss Before you Destroy

  • Physical destruction of hard drives alone leaves data behind (ie. shredding, crushing, piercing, bending)
  • HD-2XT Degausser completely eliminates all data on the disc platters
  • After degaussing, physical destruction from the PD-5 physical hard drive destroyer gives visual confirmation that the hard drive has been securely processed and is ready to leave the controlled environment for disposal or shredding

Note:  Solid-state media cannot be degaussed.  Physical destruction of the media with the SSD-1 solid-state destroyer is recommended prior to the media leaving its secure environment.

 

Degauss vs. Overwrite

Overwriting is a method where a random pattern of usually "1" and "0" is written to every part of the drive, frequently three times, to obliterate the underlying data.  The advantage of this method is the drive can be re-used.  The disadvantages are:  it takes a skilled operator to ensure the overwriting is done correctly; non-functioning sectors of the hard drive cannot be overwritten allowing data to remain on the drive; it takes a considerable amount of time-hours, and therefore electricity; and it is not regarded as failsafe, or permissible for the highest data security standards such as the NSA, CIA, or DoD. 

Degaussing is the process of exposing the media to a strong magnetic field of sufficient strength to magnetically destroy the data.  The advantages of degaussing are:  a skilled operator is not required to operate a degausser; the magnetic field destroys all the data on the drive in approximately 1/10 of a second regardless of whether the drive is functioning or non-functioning. Degaussing is recognized by the NSA and DoD as an appropriate method of secure data destruction.  The disadvantage of degaussing is the hard drive cannot be re-used.

After degaussing, the data on a degaussed hard drive simply no longer exists.
