Derivatives

degausser

noun

Devices known as ‘degaussers’ are routinely used for this purpose.
Example sentencesExamples
- On a DLT tape with 80GB of compressed data, an industrial strength degausser must be employed.
- Please contact us to purchase all types of media degaussers, from hand-held models for low security data to high end security degaussers for high sensitivity magnetic media.
- On top of that, most degaussers use external power supplies and must power down between each degaussing, slowing up the destruction process.
- The only magnets powerful enough to scrub data from a drive platter are laboratory degaussers or those used by government agencies to wipe bits off media.

Origin
