Use Default Overwrite Method
If this is ON, and the drive cannot be secure erased, then
the selected overwrite method will be used as the default
erasure method. If for some reason you have con
fi
gured
your unit to not look for secure erase compatibility, then
this will be the default erasure method for every drive.
Keep in mind that this is only a default setting and can be
modi
fi
ed at run time.
Currently, the Digital Shredder supports triple overwrite
and a single-pass overwrite (see Figure 9). For single-pass
overwrite, three additional options are available: Random
pattern, all bits zero and all bits one (see Figure 10).
