Overview
The IRONCLAD Erasure Verication System is used with the
Garner TS-1 hard drive degausser to collect information about
the degauss cycle from the TS-1 including a photographic image
of the degaussed hard drive. IRONCLAD pairs the image with
the hard drive serial number, degaussing cycle data, operator ID,
and stores the combined information into a database.
The IRONCLAD comes equipped with four USB ports, which
allow the user to download the CSV database onto a thumb
drive. The exported database can be viewed in any spreadsheet
program or through a text editor.
Use the included stylus for ease of use.
