Canadian OPS-II
The write head passes over each sector seven times (0x00, 0xFF, 0x00, 0xFF, 0x00, 0xFF, Random). There is one
final pass to verify random characters by reading.
British HMG IS5 Baseline
Baseline method overwrites disk's surface with just zeros (0x00). There is one final pass to verify random characters
by reading.
British HMG IS5 Enhanced
Enhanced method - the write head passes over each sector three times. The first time with zeros (0x00), second time
with 0xFF and the third time with random characters. There is one final pass to verify random characters by reading.
Russian GOST p50739-95
The write head passes over each sector two times. (0x00, Random). There is one final pass to verify random
characters by reading.
US Army AR380-19
The write head passes over each sector three times. The first time with 0xFF, second time with zeros (0x00) and the
third time with random characters. There is one final pass to verify random characters by reading.
US Air Force 5020
The write head passes over each sector three times. The first time with random characters, second time with zeros
(0x00) and the third time with 0xFF. There is one final pass to verify random characters by reading.
Navso P-5329-26 RL
RL method - the write head passes over each sector three times (0x01, 0x27FFFFFF, Random).
There is one final pass to verify random characters by reading.
NCSC-TG-025
The write head passes over each sector three times (0x00, 0xFF, Random). There is one final pass to verify random
characters by reading.
NSA 130-2
The write head passes over each sector two times (Random, Random). There is one final pass to verify random
characters by reading.
NIST 800-88
Supported three NIST 800-88 media sanitization standards:
1. The write head passes over each sector one time (0x00).
2. The write head passes over each sector one time (Random).
3. The write head passes over each sector three times (0x00, 0xFF, Random).
