Jamie works at Wincet, Inc. He thinks reassignment of magnetic media that may contain sensitive information can bring trouble to his position. What would be the best solution for media reassignment without damaging the media?
Degaussing
Formatting
Purging/Sanitising
Deleting
Purging or sanitizing is the removal of sensitive data from a system or storage device with the intent that the data cannot be reconstructed by any known technique. Degaussing – Erasure via degaussing may be accomplished in two ways: In AC erasure, the medium is degaussed by applying an alternating field that is reduced in amplitude over time from an initial high value (i.e., AC powered); in DC erasure, the medium is saturated by applying a unidirectional field (i.e., DC powered or by employing a permanent magnet). While many types of older magnetic storage media can be safely degaussed, degaussing renders the magnetic media of modern HDDs completely unusable and damages the storage system.
