I have no idea about the assurance these things come with regarding data security -- but we did use them to wipe drives a few years back at a college -- not for disposal, just to clean the machine out for another department.
If the drives were still usable by the second department, the degausser didn't do an adequate job as far as data secyrity goes. What did you use to re-write the servo tracks on the drives? (If you didn't have to, then the disk wasn't degaussed properly - and if you did have to, the disk won't be usable at all until the servo tracks are re-written).
