A degausser is used to securely erase data on magnetic storage media by applying a strong magnetic field.
True
False
The correct answer is true. A degausser is a device that uses a strong magnetic field to disrupt the magnetic domains on storage media like hard disk drives (HDDs) and tape drives, effectively making the stored data unreadable. This method is not effective for non-magnetic storage devices such as solid-state drives (SSDs), which use flash memory.
