Tape Degausser and Hard Drive Degausser

For those who need to permanently erase data from hard drives or tapes, but don't need a high-volume degausser, the HD-2 offers the perfect solution. The HD-2 is ideal in office settings for erasing laptop, desktop, and network high-coercivity (magnetic) drives up to 1.5 inches high, as well as the full range of tape cartridge media—with no adapters needed. It’s also very easy to use and in less than a minute, eliminates all data for good. 

Absolute erasure. Affordable price.

Permanent Erasure Means Data Is Gone Forever

Because the HD-2 generates a high-powered magnetic field ensuring complete erasure. Magnetic erasure also means there’s no software to buy, update, or upgrade. And the HD-2 technology used to erase magnetic hard drives and tape media will never become obsolete due to software or driver modifications.

Degauss vs. Overwrite

The HD-2 uses our 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. Unlike overwriting, the HD-2 generates an erase field that encompasses the entire hard drive or tape, leaving no area unchanged. The HD-2 requires no physical connection, such as a cable, enabling it to erase data on working and nonworking hard drives. Degaussing technology also makes the HD-2 software independent, allowing you to completely and permanently erase any magnetic hard drive or tape, regardless of the operating system or interface.

Secure and Compliant

The HD-2 will help you meet government and industry standards requiring complete erasure of sensitive data before disposal, including:

 

• California Senate Bill 1386
• DOD (Emergency Destruction and up to Secret Classification)
• FCC
• GLBA (Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act)
• HIPAA (Health Information Portability and Accountability Act)
• NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) Guidelines for Media Sanitization
• NIST SP 800-36
• NIST SP 800-88r1
• PCI DSS 3.2 (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard)
• PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act)

International Standards

The HD-2 is independently tested and certified to meet CE and ANSI safety and compatibility standards worldwide.

HD-2 Affordable Security— 
Optional Package and Accessories

Perfect for multiple sites, the optional transport case lets you take the HD-2 to the media, eliminating the security risk of transporting media. Combine the HD-2 with our NSA/CSS EPL-listed PD-4 Hard Drive Destroyer or NSA/CSS EPL-listed PD-5 Hard Drive and Solid-State Memory Destroyer for a self-contained, full-security package.
