Answer should be B for this. Sanitize is a generic term
If you can’t identify what the media is, then B is the right idea. This asks the way of thinking.
No, you cannot reuse a hard drive once it has been degaussed. This is because the degaussing process not only removes all the data, but it also removes the start up files. As such, a degaussed hard drive will not boot up.
keyword “reusing media” so answer B
SSD drives are more common than HDDs these days. They cannot be degaussed, however there are other forms of sanitization that could be used.
I agree, should be D.
I meant to say “ATA secure erase” and degaussing are acceptable form s of purging. Read NIST 800-88.
Not true. Sanitizing is a generic term for clearing, purging and destroying. So, IMO the answer is D. Purging and ATA secure erase are acceptable forms of purging which is needed for sensitive data.
