At around £90 a unit I don¹t think you can beat them for reliability and

An excellent idea, but it needs mentioning that you have to keep magnetic
media far away from other magnets--a radio speaker (a most common degausing
source) can wreak havok with tape or magnetic disc alike, for example. We
won't go into the effects of an atomic airburst, since that wouldn't leave
many people who actually care. :-o
