Combine the TS-4XT degausser with Garner’s exclusive IRONCLAD® Erasure Verification with JPG Image Capture System for complete, permanent, and verifiable data elimination. Only Garner provides the best audit trail and proof-of-erasure reports with JPG images of degaussed hard drives and a record of gauss field strength for each cycle.

Erasure Verification

Built-in field checker: Garner's degaussers have built-in field verification systems. On-board diagnostics confirm the magnetic field strength of every cycle, ensuring complete erasure every time.

LCD display: Provides the numerical value of gauss field strength to verify erasure, as well as cycle count, job count, and diagnostics.

SCAN-1X Media Destruction Report software and scanner voucher included: Creates media destruction reports with date, time, user ID, serial number, and verification of each cycle.

IRONCLAD Integrated Auditing System (option): Create the ultimate proof-of-erasure and destruction reports. Combine the TS-4XT degausser with Garner’s exclusive IRONCLAD® Erasure Verification with JPG Image Capture System.  IRONCLAD creates a Certificate of Erasure & Destruction Report by compiling user, media, and diagnostic data from the TS-4XT degausser and the PD-5 hard drive destroyer for auditing purposes.

Permanent Erasure of Data

Uniformly distributed +30,000-gauss power magnetically erases high-coercivity hard drives and tapes, ensuring data can never be recovered. The TS-4XT is the ultimate solution to completely and permanently erase all magnetic data.

Best Practices: Degauss Before You Destroy

• Physical destruction of hard drives alone leaves data behind (i.e. shredding, crushing, piercing, bending)
• The TS-4XT Degausser completely eliminates all data on the disc platters
• After degaussing, physically destroy the hard drive with the Garner PD-5 hard drive destroyer to provide 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 Garner 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.
