17.Setting of Erase Function
There are several erase methods:
Quick Erase, Full Erase, DoD Erase, DoD Erase & Compare, and Secure Erase.
I.
Quick Erase
The function will ONLY erase the index of the HDD. It is the quickest way to erase HDD.
II.
Full Erase (Entire HDD Area)
The function will erase the whole sectors on the target HDD. It will take longer time than quick erase.
Complies with NIST800-88 Standards.
III.
DoD Erase (DoD5220.22 M)
This is to comply with the U.S.A. Department of Defense (DoD5220) standard to fully erase the HDD three
times bit-by-bit to overwrite HDD data and guarantees data not recoverable. This DoD erase method will erase
HDD over each sector three times: the first time with zeros (0x00), second time with FF(0xFF) and the third
time with random characters.
