This function will erase the whole sectors on the connected device(s). It will take
longer than quick erase. Complies with NIST800-88 Standards.
4.3 DoD Erase
This function complies with the U.S.A. Department of Defense (DoD5220.22-M)
standard to fully erase the HDD three times bit by bit to overwrite HDD data and
guarantees data will not be 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.
4.4 DoD Erase & Compare
Besides DoD erase 3 times, this function will also execute comparison to make
sure the random bit is correctly written.
4.5 7-Pass Erase
This mode is a DOD 7-pass and complies with the DoD5220.22-M (ECE) standard.
It fully erases the HDD 7 times bit by bit to overwrite HDD data and guarantees
data is not recoverable. The 7-Pass Erase mode spends 7 times longer than full
erase mode.
4.6 Secure Erase
This function sends an ATA Secure Erase command. It overwrites every single
track on the hard drive with "00". Even HPA/DCO or other hidden data areas can
be erased all together.
Caution
If Secure Erase process is interrupted, the device will be locked.
Please execute again and wait until it finishes.
4.7 Enhanced Secure Erase
This function erases devices that supports this feature.
Scroll to select "4.7 Enhanced Secure Erase", then press "OK" to start the erasing
process.
