Hard Drive Degaussing Service: Secure Data Destruction Made Easy
Our hard drive degaussing service destroys all data stored on magnetic storage devices, including hard drives, floppy disks, and magnetic tapes. The process involves exposing the storage device to a powerful magnetic field, which erases all data on the disk—permanently.
It’s important to note that degaussing only works on magnetic-based storage devices. Devices like SD cards, thumb drives, and solid-state drives (SSDs) do not rely on magnets to store data and are therefore immune to degaussing.
The time it takes to degauss a hard drive can range from 5 to 15 seconds, depending on the type of degausser used. At Recycle Emirates, we use one of the most powerful degaussing machines available, capable of destroying the data on a drive in less than 5 seconds, rendering it completely irrecoverable.
No, once a hard drive has been degaussed, it cannot be reused. Degaussing removes all data, including startup files, making the drive unusable for normal operations. However, degaussed hard drives are ideal for e-waste recycling. The valuable components can be salvaged and repurposed, ensuring environmental sustainability and protecting against data corruption or theft.
