Hard drive degaussers allow you to dispose of the hard drives your organization no longer needs. Our line of hard drive degaussers alters the magnetic charge on a hard drive, which not only eliminates the data on the drive, but also erases the factory pre-recorded servo tracks, thus rendering the hard drive unusable. Data Devices offers a broad line of hard drive degaussers at every price, including manual table-top, input slide and conveyor units.

If you need to erase the data on a SCSI, IDE/PATA, SATA, laptop or SAS hard drive and then reuse or recycle hard drive, Data Devices’ line of DOD-approved hard drive erasers overwrite and erase the data on the drive, ensuring complete data security. The DOD-approved application WipeOut overwrites and erases the drive 8 times. This guarantees the original data on the drive is unrecoverable to Department of Defense specifications. These units come standard with WipeOut Fast, which provides fast and comprehensive erasure. Our line of hard drive erasers and duplicators also supports solid state flash memory.

Losing sleep because you're terrified your "degaussed" hard drives haven't been completely erased? Worry no more! Our degaussed hard drive verifier guarantees complete data erasure. All you have to do is plug the drive in. And get a good night's sleep.

Degaussers alter the magnetic charge on LTO tape cartridges. This process not only erases the data stored on the tape itself, but also erases the cartridge’s servo tracks, making the cartridge unreadable – and protecting your data from even the most determined investigation. Data Devices offers a broad line of LTO degaussers at every price – manual table-top, input slide and conveyor units.

Data Devices offers our customers a comprehensive list of magnetic media, its corresponding coercivity (magnetivity) rating, and the degaussers we recommend for erasing that specific type of media.

Because each type of media has its own coercivity rating, it is critical that you use a degausser powerful enough to erase the media. As a general rule, the gauss rating of the machine should be at least twice the Oersted rating of the media. Thus, for example, if you need to erase a VHS cassette with an Oersted rating of 650, you will need a degausser with a gauss rating of no less than 1300, if not more.

If your media is missing from the list, please contact us so we can add it. If you have any questions about any of the following information, don’t hesitate to call us. We’re happy to help!

Optical media such as CDs and DVDs provide fast and efficient data back-up and file sharing between offices and employees. However, what do you do with the disc when it’s no longer needed?

Scratching the CD or DVD face is inadequate because if the surface is sanded down, the data layers of the disc are still recoverable. There are three basic methods of secure CD and DVD disposal: the data-bearing layers of the CD or DVD can be sanded off; the data-bearing layers of the CD or DVD can be pitted with a spiked roller; or the disc itself can be physically destroyed, cut into chunks or ground into powder.

Data Devices International offers a variety of CD and DVD destroyers that employ these three destruction methods so that the information on your CDs and DVDs will be unrecoverable.

NSA and DoD-approved destroyers and disintegrators provide the optimal security solution for users requiring maximum security disposal of sensitive data stored on paper, plastic cards, key tape, optical media (CDs, DVDs), or solid state flash memory.

Hard drive physical destroyers provide a top level physical secure data disposal option.

Many computer sites use valuable computer time to duplicate two or more copies of tape back-up, which may be required for off-site storage and auxiliary computer sites. Do you require a faster and better way to duplicate your tapes for off-site storage and other remote locations?

Now you can duplicate and/or transfer LTO-1, LTO-2, LTO-3, LTO-4, DLT, SDLT 1, and SDLT 2 tape cartridges for off-site storage and release your computer from the hours required to duplicate extra copies of the same information. Our line of stand-alone computer tape duplicators is a very inexpensive and efficient method to enable you to reclaim invaluable computer time in your department.

Tired of spending thousands of dollars on new LTO tape cartridges? Want to erase your LTO tape cartridges and reuse them? Now you can! Our LTO computer tape erasers will completely erase all of the data on your LTO computer tape cartridges while preserving the servo tracks required for reuse. Now you can keep those $100 computer tape cartridges and reuse them, which will save your data center substantial amounts of money in purchasing replacements.

In addition, with individuals and corporations going green, it’s now possible to safely and effectively erase your data cartridges and then sell the tape to recyclers, who reuse the tape so that it doesn’t end up in a landfill. Many companies recoup a percentage of their cost on reselling media that they no longer need.

Is your data center experiencing read/write problems with its tape cartridge library? The best solution is to clean your tape cartridges. Data Devices offers a complete line of computer tape cleaners for every tape requirement.

Dust, dirt, and oxide residue not only contaminates your computer tape itself, but these forms of contamination spread to the drive. Drive contamination either requires the drive to be excessively cleaned with fabric head cleaners or wet-cleaned by a certified drive maintenance organization. Drive contamination and the resulting hardware cleaning can be reduced or eliminated by careful and regular cleaning of the tape.

Our broad line of computer tape cleaning equipment will permit users to clean LTO, DLT, SDLT, 3590, 3491e and tape reels so the tape may be mounted on your computer and perform trouble-free and with extreme accuracy and fewer retries. This saves you computer time and prevents frustrating shut-downs.

Users who are upgrading to newer systems need the STAR 3590 Magnetic Cartridge Inspector/Cleaner to clean and retension tape before it is copied to newer and more efficient systems. Reducing contamination is required so read failures are not copied onto LTO tape cartridges that are then placed into use in the new system.

Our 3491e Magnetic Cartridge Inspector/Cleaner continues to be extremely important for tape maintenance, as this tape is older or often covered by dust, dirt, and oxide residue. Users need to clean every tape before use, because removing dirt, dust and debris enables your computer system to work more efficiently.

Our 3491e and 3590 computer tape cleaners enable you to clean all of the tape in your library for proper long-term maintenance – or so that, when necessary, transferring your data library to LTO cartridges will be easy and trouble-free.

Are you experiencing problems with your computer tape and want to quantify exactly what those problems are and what percentage of your tape library is affected? Computer tape certifiers read all of the information from end to end on the tape cartridge and then log and report the number of retries and specific kinds of tape problems. The resulting error report from the computer tape checker enables the user to identify which tapes are causing the problems.

Problem tapes with read failure should be discarded and replaced with new, high quality tape. However, if a previously-recorded tape has no problems, that tape can be safely re-recorded and/or erased and sold as used to a recycler.

Newer versions of tape storage, such as DLT, SDLT, and LTO tape cartridges, require regular inspection and maintenance as they age and as the tape degrades. Users should test and certify LTO tape from time to time with an LTO certifier or cartridge verification system to identify the specific cartridges that cause computer abends (read failure).

Our line of certifiers permits you to test all of your tape to determine the exact number of drop-outs on each tape, thus enabling you to keep cartridges that perform to specification or discard faulty tape and replace it with new tape. All of your DLT, SDLT, and LTO tape can now be inspected and retensioned for improved performance.

Do you need to remove mold or mildew from the surface of your VHS tape so you can view or transfer the tape? Our line of TapeChek Video Tape Cleaners provides the best machines available to remove dust, debris, mold, and mildew from your VHS tape. They will clean and retension your tapes, as well as measure the recording time available on the tape.

If you would like to evaluate your tape quality, the TapeChek 480 Detector/Cleaner employs both comprehensive cleaning and a thorough analysis of the tape. It cleans and polished the tape, identifies any problems, and reports the number and location of each problem. Now you can discard damaged tape and replace it with high quality tape.

Several of our video units are available either new or remanufactured.

Data Devices provides video tape cleaning as a service. This is an ideal choice for users with a small volume of tape who don’t need to invest in purchasing expensive equipment.

We also offer a full line of
