Proton 1100 Portable Degaussing Wand

The Proton 1100 is a portable, power-free degaussing wand for smaller-volume magnetic-media erasure and field use. Its fixed high-energy magnetic field is designed for disk drives, diskpacks, drum memories, floppy media and other flat-surface magnetic storage. The compact wand and shielded storage case make it useful for mobile IT and secure media-sanitization programs.

Why This Product Matters Today

Sensitive magnetic media is not always retired inside a fully equipped data center. Field teams, smaller offices and mobile operations may need a compact way to sanitize supported magnetic media without relying on electrical power.

Why you may need it: Choose the Proton 1100 when portability and power-free operation matter more than high-volume automated throughput.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Proton 1100 require electricity?

No. The 1100 is a permanent-magnet degaussing wand and does not require electrical power.

What type of media can the Proton 1100 sanitize?

It is intended for supported magnetic media and flat-surface magnetic storage. Verify the specific media and required sanitization procedure before use.

Can the Proton 1100 erase SSDs or USB flash drives?

No. Solid-state media does not use magnetic storage and is not sanitized by degaussing. SSDs and flash media require physical destruction or another approved solid-state method.

When should I choose a degaussing wand instead of an automatic degausser?

A wand is useful for lower-volume, portable or field applications. For repeatable high-throughput processing, an automatic drawer-style degausser is generally more appropriate.
