Main Menu
Secure Erase
The “Secure Erase” function will sanitize (wipe clean of all data) the hard disk
drives connected to the 1:5 HDD Cruiser using algorithms programmed by the hard
drive manufacturer. Since this function is native to the hard drive, it is very fast and
reliable. Almost all modern SATA hard drives support this feature. In the rare case
that Secure Erase is not supported, please use the “Overwrite” function to sanitize
your hard drives.
1. Load the source HDD and the target HDDs into the 1:5 HDD Cruiser. The
system will auto-detect the hard drives. Using the arrow buttons (
