3.3.6 HDD Wipe
The HDD Wipe function is used to completely erase a hard drive. This is a four step function that
ensures that the hard drive is fully erased and data is non-recoverable.
The four steps are as follows:
1. Fill the entire drive with 0’s.
2. Fill the entire drive with 1’s.
3. Fill the entire drive with a random pattern of 0’s and 1’s.
4. Verify the entire drive.
Note: The HDD Wipe function can be run consecutively up to 9 times. You can configure the number
of times it is run consecutively in the CONFIGURATION mode under the WIPE CYCLES function.
The default value is set to 7 times. 7 times complies with the American DOD 5220-22.M standard.
For more information, see section 3.4.11 Wipe Cycles, p.45.
