Destroying hard drives physically, through methods such as shredding, crushing, piercing, or bending, can still leave data intact. The only method to fully erase data from the disc platters of hard drives or magnetic tapes is through degaussing. In this process, the data storage devices are exposed to an intense magnetic field, which greatly surpasses the magnetic force, or coercivity, of the hard disk. This brief yet potent magnetic pulse irrevocably erases the data. Following degaussing, employing physical destruction methods like the intimus Crusher provides tangible evidence that the hard drive has been securely handled and is now ready for safe disposal.
