Proton T-4 Degausser: The Union of Strength and Ingenuity

Feb. 10, 2012 - PRLog -- The Proton T-4 degausser is, simply put, one of the best degaussers around. What makes us feel so strongly about this product? Proton is constantly looking to the future and putting out products that will remain relevant for years to come. The NSA has evaluated this degausser and has deemed it fit to erase information from hard drives with magnetic fields up to 5,000 Oe. This is currently the maximum coercivity on the market today, but that won’t last long. Hard drive coercivity has been steadily rising over the past decade and the NSA is bound to raise their evaluation standards in the coming years. The Proton T-4 produces a bi-directional field, providing a 20,000 Gauss positive field and a 20,000 Gauss negative field.  The Proton T-4 will continue to degauss magnetic media as their magnetic field coercivities increase to up to 13,300 Oe. This means you will not experience the frustration of having an outdated and useless degausser when NSA requirements inevitably increase.

This powerful degausser will fully erase all data from hard drives, magnetic tape (including linear tape-open and digital linear tape), floppy disks, and other magnetic media with just the push of a button. The machine weighs a sturdy 128 pounds but is still compact enough to fit on a table top if you don’t have an abundance of floor space. Proton’s patented Reverse Polarity technology produces an impressive Gauss field that ensures all data removal. The Reverse Polarity technology provides the T-4’s unique ability to produce both positive and negative magnetic pulses, which gives us the extra confidence that all information has been erased. Other degaussers only have either positive or negative pulses, not the dual security that the Proton T 4 provides.

The T-4 thoroughly degausses your magnetic media by accepting only one piece of media at a time into its chamber. This guarantees uniform exposure to the magnetic field produced, as does the unique chamber design which assures the media is subjected to the same field strength from every angle. Such comprehensive degaussing ensures the complete removal of data from the hard drive, magnetic tape, or floppy disk, yet still operates at an impressive 45 to 60 seconds per cycle. The continuous duty of the machine will allow you to degauss your materials at the quickest pace possible and its ease of use will make it a welcome addition to any office.
