Erase-O-Matic Low-Cost Digital Video & Computer Tape Eraser Launched by Data Devices

A leader in the data security industry, Data Devices International, has launched a degausser specifically designed to completely demagnetize hard-to-erase digital video and computer tape, the new Erase-O-Matic.

President of Data Devices International, David Partridge, commented: "This lightweight degausser is inexpensive, quiet, easy to use and perfect for the workplace". "It's so effective and easy to use, every home office and small office should have one."

Many forms of digital video tape and certain types of higher coercivity computer tape, such as LTO-1 and LTO-2, are more difficult to erase than analog tape and require a more powerful degausser. Frequently costing over $2000, degaussers that can handle these types of tape have typically been cost prohibitive for the small office and home office user, but the Erase-O-Matic costs a mere fraction of that.

To demagnetize magnetic media, instead of electrical power, the latest in technology, rare earth permanent magnets, is used by the revolutionary new Erase-O-Matic table-top degausser uses. The Erase-O-Matic is a less expensive and more powerful degausser for the consumer, because this new technology is much more powerful and much less expensive than its electric counterpart.

Needing time to cool down, most tape degaussers rely on electrical power and overheat quickly. The Erase-O-Matic can't overheat because it doesn't need any external power source. It can be run continuously - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This video and computer tape eraser, at just five pounds, is completely mobile and transportable.

This type of unit is ideal for law enforcement, state and local government, and medical, financial and media applications. It is ideal for any user - home or professional - who is identity theft conscious and looking to have greater control over his computer data and digital information.
