TS-4XT HDD and Tape Degausser

TS-4XT HDD and Tape Degausser

Data breaches involving improperly disposed hard drives cost organizations millions—not just in regulatory fines, but in lost trust and damaged reputations. For agencies and enterprises handling classified or regulated data, proper magnetic media erasure isn't just best practice; it's a legal requirement with serious consequences for failure.

The TS-4XT degausser delivers permanent, verifiable data erasure through a powerful 20,000-gauss magnetic field that completely eliminates information from even the highest-coercivity drives and tapes. Purpose-built for high-security environments, this system processes up to 480 drives per hour while providing the documentation trail that auditors demand.

Uncompromising Erasure Technology

20,000-Gauss Magnetic Field: The TS-4XT generates a uniform 2 Tesla field that permanently scrambles magnetic domains, making data recovery physically impossible—even with advanced forensic techniques.

Universal Media Support: From vintage 3.5-inch enterprise drives to modern perpendicular recording media and LTO backup tapes, one device handles your entire magnetic media inventory without sorting or special handling.

Real-Time Performance Monitoring: Every cycle displays actual field strength on the integrated LCD, eliminating guesswork about erasure effectiveness. Built-in diagnostics alert operators if performance drops below specifications.

Automated Documentation: SCAN-1X software captures operator ID, timestamp, and measured field strength for each cycle, building an unbreakable chain of custody for compliance audits.

Built for Mission-Critical Operations

Government & Defense
Currently undergoing NSA EPL evaluation, the TS-4XT provides the field strength required for classified media disposal. TAA compliance ensures it meets federal procurement requirements while the automated reporting satisfies audit documentation needs.

Healthcare Systems
Process PHI-bearing drives with complete confidence. The TS-4XT's verifiable erasure exceeds HIPAA physical safeguard requirements, protecting your organization from costly breach notifications when drives leave your control.

Financial Services
Whether handling payment card data or customer financial records, achieve PCI DSS compliance with documented proof of destruction. The 30-second cycle time keeps pace with your equipment refresh schedules.

Enterprise Data Centers
High-volume environments benefit from the TS-4XT's reliability and throughput. Process failed drives, refresh cycle equipment, and decommissioned arrays without creating disposal backlogs.

• Automatic linking of images to specific cycles and operators
• Comprehensive Certificates of Erasure with visual proof
• Integration with PD-5 physical destroyer for complete workflow

Critical Workflow Considerations

Magnetic Media Only
The TS-4XT erases hard drives and tapes through magnetic fields. Solid-state drives, USB flash drives, and other non-magnetic storage require physical destruction—consider the companion SSD-1 destroyer for complete coverage.

Verification Before Disposal
Physical destruction alone leaves data fragments on platters. Always degauss first, then physically destroy if visual confirmation is required for your disposal protocol.

Continuous Operation Design
Unlike consumer-grade units, the TS-4XT is engineered for all-day operation. Thermal protection and heavy-duty components ensure consistent performance during large-scale decommissioning projects.

The Bottom Line: Why Security Professionals Choose TS-4XT

Software overwriting takes hours and leaves room for error. Physical destruction creates particles that may retain data. Only magnetic degaussing permanently eliminates information at the physical level—and the TS-4XT does it in 30 seconds with proof.

No software licenses. No compatibility matrices. No hoping that 7-pass overwrite actually worked. Just insert, press start, and receive verified confirmation that your data no longer exists.

For organizations where data security failures mean headlines, lawsuits, or worse, the TS-4XT provides industrial-grade protection with the documentation to prove it. When regulators, auditors, or attorneys come calling, you'll have timestamped evidence that every drive was properly processed before leaving your custody.

Take control of your magnetic media disposal. The TS-4XT combines the erasure power, verification capabilities, and compliance documentation your organization needs to eliminate data security risks at their source—permanently, provably, and professionally.
