Degauss

Degaussing any current generation hard disk (including but not limited to IDE, EIDE, ATA, SCSI and Jaz) will render the drive permanently unusable since these drives store track location information on the hard drive in dedicated regions of the drive in between the data sectors.

Meaningful interpretation or expression of data.

Information

classifications and defines level of access and method to store and transmit information

to make sure data is identifiable by its classification level. Some label all media that contains data to prevent reuse of Public media for sensitive data.
