Secure Erase –
Choose ‘ON’ to turn Secure Erase on. Most newer
drives support this function. Secure Erase will send an AT (attention)
command to the hard drive instructing it wipe or reset itself to the
specifications that the hard drive manufacturer has set. For
information on what happens when the Secure Erase command is
sent, please contact the drive manufacturer. If you are unsure if the
drive supports this function, please contact the drive manufacturer.
NOTE:
For SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) drives, Secure Erase sends a
‘Format’ command. For SATA (Serial-ATA) drives, Secure Erase
sends a ‘Security Erase Unit’ command. For SATA drives that
support ‘Enhanced Security Erase Unit’ commands, the enhanced
command will be sent. For questions on how each drive supports
these features, or what the drive will do with these commands,
please contact the drive manufacturer .
