Hi All,
Can anyone recommend a piece of hardware used to erase hard
disks/tapes/floppies? I've done some googling, looked on Amazon and
NewEgg, but can't seem to find anything that fits the bill.
Thanks,

Radio Shack used to sell bulk tape erasers. They're
I've got one of the Radio Shack bulk erasers that Shirley mentioned. The
problem is that unless you reconnect the disk to verify that it's wiped,
you never really know. Last batch, I just took a hammer to them. Never say
never, but it'll be pretty hard for someone to read a disk with a 1/2 in.

At work years ago we had a bulk eraser. It had a moving belt, about
8 wide, 3' long, heavy as sin (if you go for the heavies :)
Ran off of AC, and hummed like a kazoo band. But we could erase any
size of tape very well easily. But it wasn't worth getting out for 1
or two.
It might have worked
The little RShack degauser ($14.99 + $10 SH on ebay) works OK, just
can't get the flux density needed to penetrate ferious metal to any
distance.
Rather than one of those, go to somewhere that has BIG electric
motors, and while the motors are running, pass the drives back and
forth near the field

Some of the DoD wipe programs do a good job. A DD does not really wipe
the drive. Additionally, there is a hardware wipe on many of these
drives. A disk wipe using one of the methods on UBCD should be
