It's been a while since the subject matter really interested me, and it seems the degaussers have gotten quite a bit more powerful over the years. Perhaps someone with more current knowledge of hard drive engineering can pitch in here, but I'm not sure even a 4000 Oersted degausser is enough to wipe the most modern generations of hard drives (say, 250GB and above).
