The DG-91T degausser is a high energy, bulk tape eraser especially designed to tackle the erasing of DLT & LTO tapes. To re-use your previously formatted DLT tape IV tapes in the DLT1 tape drive, Capital Shredder has introduced the DG-91T DLT/LTO tape eraser. Anyone upgrading their existing DLT drive with the new DLT1 drive should understand that their existing inventory of recorded DLTtape IV media may not be usable in the DLT1 without thoroughly degaussing them first. Media recorded in either the DLT7000 or DLT8000 format will be automatically rejected to protect the data on the tape. The problem is easily solved by erasing all existing DLT tapes on the Capital Shredder DG-91T bulk tape eraser. The DG-91T hard drive degaussing machine will erase all old data and formats in 10 seconds leaving the tapes completely clear and ready to use in DLT1 drives. LTO hard drive erasers alter the magnetic charge on LTO tape cartridges. This process will erase the data stored on the tape and also erases the cartridge s servo tracks, making the cartridge completely unreadable thus protecting your data from even the most determined investigation.

Product FAQs
Questions About DG-91T DLT/LTO High Energy Tape Eraser
Product-specific answers based on this shredder’s description, specifications, and intended use case.
What magnetic media can the DG-91T securely erase?
The DG-91T is a tape degausser. The DG-91T is intended for hard drives, magnetic media, and tapes. It sanitizes magnetic media by degaussing rather than cutting it into particles.
Can the DG-91T degausser erase SSDs or other solid-state media?
No. The DG-91T is for magnetic storage; SSDs, flash drives, memory cards, and other non-magnetic solid-state media are not erased by degaussing and require an appropriate physical-destruction method.
How fast is the DG-91T for hard drive or tape degaussing?
The DG-91T should be sized around the number and type of magnetic media processed in each session.
What power, workflow, or installation requirements does the DG-91T have?
Before each cycle, confirm the media is magnetic, fits the chamber or loading method, and follows the organization’s chain-of-custody procedure. Record the completed erasure step if the workflow requires audit evidence.
Who should choose the DG-91T for secure data degaussing?
The DG-91T is designed for organizations that repeatedly sanitize magnetic media in-house and want a controlled, repeatable process.
