Will Magneat erase data from my hard drive?
Here are excerpts from this PC World article, "Busting the Big PC Myths."
"There's nothing magnetic in flash memory, so [a magnet] won't do anything," says Bill Frank, executive director of the CompactFlash Association. "A magnet powerful enough to disturb the electrons in flash would be powerful enough to suck the iron out of your blood cells," says Frank.
The same goes for hard drives. The only magnets powerful enough to scrub data from a drive platter are laboratory degaussers or those used by government agencies to wipe bits off media. "In the real world, people are not losing data from magnets," says Bill Rudock, a tech-support engineer with hard-drive maker Seagate. "In every disk," notes Rudock, "there's one heck of a magnet that swings the head."
Credit cards with strips and cassette tapes are susceptible to data loss when exposed to magnetic fields. It is recommended that you store Magneat separately from these types of media. While you might not lose data from a hard drive simply being exposed to a magnet, we suggest not taking the risk.
SD cards, your iPod nano, iPhone and iPod Touch, as well as most mobile phones all use modern flash memory, which are immune to the effects of magnets. Magneat will not harm them.
WARNING: Made with super strong magnets. Magneat should not be used with magnetic metal implants (e.g. pacemakers, ICD). Children under 3 year of age should never play with magnets. The Magneat is not a toy, and not intended for small children.
