If you have a mix of Media like Hard drives, Tape media and Solid State Media ( SSD), there is no SINGLE device that can sanitize all thses.
The Matrix below shows which kind of Media each Device ( Degausser, Physical Destroyer and Rewriting Data Wiper) can sanitize.
Hard Disk Drives- All kinds ( 2.5", 3.5", SATA, SAS) |
Tapes - All Kinds |
Solid State Media ( Flash Drives, SSD) |
|
Degausser | Can Sanitize* | Can Sanitize * | - |
Physical Destroyer | Can Sanitize * | - | Can Sanitize * |
Data Destroyer ( Rewriter) |
Can Sanitize # | Can Sanitize # |
* After Degaussing Media is Rendered useless. You can't reuse the media
# Rewriter needs the Media to be in working condition. You would essentially connect the media to the rewriter and it will write a few passes of random data. Media can be reused after such Sanitization.
