How is the data on my devices erased?

It depends on the type media / equipment

Degaussing

Degaussers are able to erase because they generate a magnetic field so powerful that it permanently removes the magnetic memory from the iron oxide which removes or randomized the data pattern.

Depending on the type of media, different magnetic field strengths are required to effectively destroy magnetic memory. Modern tapes and hard drives require more magnetic strength. Depending on the type of media your organization uses, we will use the appropriate degausser to get the job done.

Hard drives are not reusable after being degaussed. Some media types are reusable after degauss and some are not
