Secure Erase
–
Sends a command to the drive instructing it to wipe the drive based on the
hard drive manufacturer’s specifications for the Secure Erase command.
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 PCIe 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. Also, a 7-pass DoD wipe can be set with pre-selected pass values.
•
Format
–
Formats a drive. Supported file systems are
NTFS, EXT4, exFAT,
and
FAT32
. The ZXi-
10G 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 ZXi-10G will perform a Secure Erase first then a Wipe Patterns wipe.
