The HD-2 is the newest and most
innovative product in the Garner line of degaussers. The HD-2 erases
hard drives (laptop, desktop and network up to 1.5" high) and high coercivity tape media, including all formats of LTO (1,2,3,4),
SuperDLT I & II, DLT, AIT, 8mm and more, all without any adapters.
Features include a continuous duty rating (no cooling necessary) quiet operation
and a 60 second cycle time.
HD-2 Operations:
The HD-2 is exceptionally
user-friendly. Simply place your media into the drawer on the right
side of the HD-2 and push the "Erase" button. Within 60 seconds your
media is erased. Open the drawer and remove your erased media. it
just doesnt get any easier than that!
Safeguards:
The HD-2 has been independently
tested and certified to meet both ANSI and CE standards. Built-in
safegaurds check the stored power before each erase cycle ensuring
complete erasure every time. Audible tones and lighted push buttons
report the status of the HD-2 to the operator.
Degauss vs. Overwrite:
The HD-2 produces an erasing field
many times stronger than the erasing fields produced by the
read/write heads in hard drives and tape drives. The field strength
along with the encompassing magnetic field ensure the data is no
longer recoverable by computer or laboratory attacks. Since the HD-2
does not rely on software, the HD-2 will also completely and
permanently erase failed and damaged hard drives regardless of the
operating system or interface.
Government Mandates:
The HD-2 will assist you in
meeting compliance standards for government mandates requiring
complete elimination of sensitive information stored on magnetic
media prior to re-use or disposal including:
PCI DSS
(Payment Card Industry) Data Security Standard
NIST (National
Institute of Standards and Technology) Guidelines for Media
Sanitization
