DoD EraseComp Method:
Note
*The erasing duration of DoD Erase mode is 3 times longer than full erase mode.
*The duration of DoD EraseComp is 4 times longer than full erase mode.
Secure Erase (NIST800-88)
Prepare disposal HDDs. Insert disposal HDD to any port. Enter function “5. Secure Erase”.
Press <OK> or <GO> to start erasing.
This function sends an ATA Secure Erase command. It overwrites every single track on the
hard drive with”00”. Even HPA/DCO or other data area which are not able to load, can be
erased all together.
Caution
Highly recommended, please DO NOT disrupts Secure Erase during
operation. Otherwise, it might cause error on reading the HDDs which
cannot be identified by the duplicators and computers. If fails, execute any
erase mode again or disable security to save HDDs back. We are not held
responsible for any damages.
Only devices support Enhanced Secure Erase are available to execute this function.
Seven Pass Erase“DoD 5220.22-M(ECE)”
Prepare disposal HDDs. Insert disposal HDD to any port. Enter function 6. “7 Pass Erase”.
Press <OK> or <GO> to start erasing.
7 Pass Erase (7-Pass DoD) is to comply with the U.S.A. Department of Defense’s standard DoD
5220.22-M(ECE). The mode is a DoD 7-Pass and complies with the DoD5220.22-M(ECE)
standard. It fully erases the HDD for 7 times bit-by-bit to overwrite HDD data and guarantees
data not recoverable. The 7-Pass Erase mode spends 7 times longer than full erase mode.
