Description
The Verity DataGone LG Plus (upgraded from the DataGone LG) is a powerful 13,000 Gauss Magnetic Field fully automatic degausser for Hard Disks and Backup tapes with a unique Erasure Log Software. 13,000 Gauss is 2½ times the latest HDD media strength (5000Oe) which meets the levels many security experts recommend for the Highest Security Erase.
The DataGone LG Plus uses pulse discharge technology and is fully processor controlled which enables it to offer a complete and secure erase on magnetic media. The Erasure Log Software records all operating and degaussing information which can be saved and printed, giving hard copy evidence of complete erasure for reporting and auditing purposes. Perfect for 3.5”, 2.5” & 1.8” hard drives 5000 Oe. Longitudinal & perpendicular recording. DLT,2,3,4,5,6, S-DLT, LTO1,2,3,4,5, & 7; 3480/3490/3490e, 3590, 9840 & T9940 & T10000 tape; Ultrium & Redwood SD-3 tape & cartridges; Mammoth 1 & 2, 8mm, AIT1 & 2,M2 tape; DDS 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5, DD-2.
Media that can be degaussed includes Hard Drives that use both perpendicular and vertical recording techniques, and most common backup tapes including DLT, LTO, 8mm, DDS and more. The DataGone LG Plus generates a powerful 13,000 magnetic field and in less than a second completely erases the complete data from Hard Drives and Backup Tapes.
Operation – The DataGone LG Plus is a fully automatic table top mounted unit. It can be used stand alone or, if connected to a PC or laptop via USB cable, it can be used in conjunction with the Erasure Logging Software which will log all the information related to the erasure and provide a printed report if required. The information logged includes details of the: processing company (including the operator and supervisor); media owner; degausser machine type; serial number, part number and size of the Hard Drive or Tape. Information is entered onto the software via keyboard or optional barcode scanner to speed up the data entry if required. When the logging program has been opened on the PC and the DataGone LG Plus is connected, the operator simply clicks on the “Find Machine” button for all the unit details to be automatically entered into the log including model, serial number and firmware version. The DataGone LG Plus display will show it is in remote mode controlled by the PC. Further data regarding operator, customer and media is then entered via keyboard (or optional barcode scanner).
When utilising the Erasure Log Software simply slide the hard drive into the aperture on the left hand side of the unit. The unit senses the presence of the media and the degauss cycle starts automatically. The erasure is commenced by clicking the “Destroy” button on the screen which activates the charging of the powerful degaussing magnetic field. When the degauss cycle is complete, the hard drive is released and exits from the degausser on the right hand side. Throughout the entire degauss cycle the on-board processor monitors the procedure and progress messages are displayed on the LCD panel. The entire erasure process takes approximately 9 seconds. The operator is immediately alerted to any interruptions in the cycle by messages on the screen. The lower portion of the screen now shows all the details of the erasure including date, time, Media Serial Number, Capacitor Voltage, Magnetic Gauss Field and confirmation that the media was degaussed successfully. If this data is highlighted and the print button pressed all the details on the screen along with all the data entered will be printed as a report. As new media is erased the details will be added to the Media Processed Log in the lower half of the screen. By highlighting erase records, the logs of one or more can be printed as required. There is a Supervisor Section in the Software which is Password protected. This allows the Supervisor to decide which fields are required and which fields must be completed by the Operator. The log record is stored in the PC and can be archived at any time or exported as a .csv file. The DataGone LG Plus comes with software for installation onto a PC or Laptop with easy to follow instructions. An optional barcode scanner is available for easier input.
Optional extra – Verity has introduced the DD Imager (sold separately), a new hardware solution that integrates seamlessly with their Data Destruction Auditor software. This combination offers a comprehensive solution for tracking hard drive destruction efforts. Using the barcode scanner that comes with the DD Imager, this system can efficiently document each destroyed hard drive and is compatible with selected destruction units such as the Crunch 250, DataGauss LG Max, and DataGone LG Plus. It’s an ideal system for businesses that require auditable data destruction processes. For low and high volume operators, data destruction certificates can also be produced through an optional label printer (not included) which connects via the software to print completed reports.
