Proton T-4 NSA/CSS EPL-Listed Hard Drive Degausser
Shop data destruction by need: Hard Drive Degaussers · HDD Destroyers & Crushers · SSD & Media Shredders · NSA/CSS EPL-Listed Equipment · All Proton Data Security
The Proton T-4 is a high-security hard drive degausser designed for government, military, data center and enterprise media-sanitization programs. It uses a bi-directional reverse-polarity magnetic field to permanently erase supported magnetic media, including hard disk drives and magnetic tape. The T-4 is listed on the NSA/CSS Evaluated Products List for hard-drive degaussing and is built for continuous-duty operations where verification and repeatability matter.
Why This Product Matters Today
Government agencies, defense contractors and data centers still retire large volumes of magnetic hard drives and tape containing sensitive information. Keeping sanitization in-house reduces chain-of-custody exposure and supports documented media-destruction procedures.
Why you may need it: Choose the T-4 when your organization handles sensitive or classified magnetic media and requires a current NSA/CSS EPL-listed degausser.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Proton T-4 an NSA/CSS EPL-listed hard drive degausser?
Yes. The Proton T-4 is listed on the current NSA/CSS Evaluated Products List for magnetic degaussers. Government buyers should always confirm the current EPL at the time of procurement.
Can the Proton T-4 erase SSDs or USB flash drives?
No. Degaussing is for magnetic media such as hard disk drives and magnetic tape. SSDs, USB drives and other flash media require physical solid-state destruction or disintegration.
Do classified hard drives need physical destruction after degaussing?
Current NSA/CSS guidance requires magnetic hard drives to be degaussed before deformation or other approved physical destruction methods. Agencies should follow their current security policy and NSA/CSS guidance.
Who typically uses the Proton T-4?
The T-4 is suited to federal agencies, military facilities, government contractors, data centers and enterprises that need repeatable high-security magnetic-media sanitization.
