A structure for erasure of magnetic media in a hard drive includes a main field pole magnet polarized in a direction toward a drive spindle motor in the hard drive. At least two quadrature magnets are disposed adjacent the main field pole magnet and polarized in a direction toward the main field pole magnet. The main field pole magnet and the at least two quadrature magnets are shaped to provide a slot for insertion of the magnetic media. At least two inverse polarity magnets are disposed on portions of the main pole and quadrature magnets forming the slot. The inverse polarity magnets are polarized in a direction opposed to the direction of the main field pole magnet.
