Recommendations on a bulk tape eraser.

Any recommendations on a bulk tape eraser. ie degausser
I need one for DLT and SDLT

About 3 years ago we purchased a V870 Degausser from:

Data Devices International, Inc.
2600 Mission Street
San Marino, CA 91108
818-799-6545

This will work great for DLT...don't know about SDLT and if they have the servo tracks like LTO & STK-9840s (if yes then degaussing will destroy the tape...or at least make it unusable).

Thanks I found this company on some quick searches. I hope you had good dealing with them. Just curious
why didn't you get the V92?

We had over 20,000 tapes to erase...so I wanted a higher hourly duty-cycle rate (2500 vs 600).

If you're just doing a few at a time then the V92 would be just fine.

Thank you. Yes I don't have that many to erase only a couple hundred
