GSAIntimus® 20000 Degausser
GSA pricing is available to all Federal Agencies.
The Intimus® 20000 relies on APT (Advanced Pulse Technology™). During the erase an effective quick burst generates a strong and powerful pulse. This results in 90% lower energy consumption compared to other models. At the same time they produce an erasing field many times stronger than those produced by the read/write heads in hard drives and tape drives. The field strength of an Intimus Degausser destroys the magnetic structure and ensures that the data are no longer recoverable by computer or laboratory attacks. Since the technology does not rely on software, it will also completely and permanently erase failed and damaged hard drives regardless of the operating system or interface.
Built-in safeguards check the stored power before each erase cycle, ensuring complete erasure every time. A display and lighted push buttons report the status of the Degausser to the user.
