The V91HD/DLT degausser is a high energy, bulk eraser especially designed to tackle the erasing of computer hard drives and of DLT tapes.
Hard Disk Drives
The vulnerability of information stored on PC hard drives is a recognized security risk. Using a manual degausser such as the V91HDD/DLT is the most effective and quickest way of erasing information from hard drives – even faulty hard drives. With just 4 rotations over the magnetic field, you can be confident that the hard drives have been completely erased, ready for final disposal.
Even if only used infrequently the V91 provides a cost effective security solution to the protection of company, client and sensitive computer data.
For degaussers that do not require hard drive disassembly before degaussing, please see our models V660 HDD Evo or V6000 HDD Max.
DLT Tapes
Anyone replacing their existing DLT drive with the new DLT1 drive should be aware that their existing DLT tapes will be unsuitable for use with the new drive. The formatting needs to be removed and using the "erase" function on the tape drive is simply not sufficient. The only way to remove the formatting is by degaussing the DLT media. Degaussing removes all magnetic patterns from the tape, thus eliminating all data and formatting.
The V91 HD/DLT will erase DLT tapes in 20 seconds, leaving them completely clear and ready to use in DLT1 drives. Degaussing also ensures the user that their next recording will be at its very best.
