Contact the hard drive manufacturer for Secure Erase
specifications for each model/type of hard drive.
Secure erase will not work on drives connected
through the USB, Thunderbolt, or rear expansion ports.
Wipe Patterns
– Allows the user to set a specific pattern to use for wiping the drive. The number
of passes is customizable (up to 7 passes) along with the type of data written for each pass. In
addition, a 7-pass DoD wipe can be set with pre-selected pass values.
Format
– Formats a drive. Supported file systems are:
EXT4
and
NTFS
.
The unit can perform one, two, or all three methods on the same drive, using the same task. Each method
will be performed in order (Secure Erase, Wipe Patterns, then Format) depending on which methods are
chosen. For example, if both Secure Erase and Wipe Patterns are selected, the unit will perform a Secure
Erase first then a Wipe Patterns wipe.
