[wplug] degaussing tapes and hard drives

[Poyner, Brandon]

Does anybody have suggestions on degaussing SDLT media and hard drives
without buying a $2,000+ unit?  I'm looking to get it done locally.  I
don't want to destroy the tapes for warranty reasons, and I don't want
to send them far offsite for security reasons.  The drives I'm willing
to destroy and/or degauss.  It looks like I need something with at least
a 4000 gauss field strength.
 
Thanks,
