Wait really? I used to work at a place where we cleared out HDDs with a degausser. I'm pretty sure that thing wasn't as strong as a car junkyard magnet.
Comment on Can magnet damage hard disk?

I wouldn’t expect it to. I think mythbusters did an episode on this, and it took the strength of one of those car lifting magnet cranes to damage a HDD.

Degaussers use varying magnetic fields in a specific way, it’s not raw field strength doing the erasing.

All good, I just wanted you to know how it’s spelled. Not angry or upset

It’s alright. We all understood what you meant. Don’t worry about your spelling, this isn’t a test or anything. 🙂

I’d need a banana for scale to see if this is huge or a macro photo of a small thing.
