Glad this topic came up. I know there is a thread on degaussers and I just read it. I deal with bank computers,police and sheriff computers, and hospital computers. They claim to have wiped the drives themselves. I am paranoid and currently tear down the hard drives all the way, then destroy the platters completely. They are starting to want me to either shred completely on site or use a degausser that meets DOD standards. I will obviously charge for this service. Any of you guys do this? A degausser that meets the DOD standard starts around $6,000. Not sure what to do here.
