D<\/a>ata removal<\/a> <\/a>from the operating system level is an ineffective method of data deletion from the medium, which is a hard drive. Nowadays, data recovery is not a problem. To permanently remove data from the HDD, you must use an effective and safe method \u2013 demagnetization. And how to destroy a hard disk? Ideally in a physical way, through its crushing, fragmentation or grinding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Demagnetization uses a special device, which is a degausser, generating a strong magnetic field, which disorganizes the magnetic domain setting of the carrier: it destroys, for example, servo information and calibration information. To remove data from modern hard drives, you need a degausser, generating a really strong magnetic field of 20,000 gauss (2T) \u2013 the higher the capacity of the disk, the stronger the magnetic field needed to remove the information from storage media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
