5. OTHER OPERATIONS
Besides the Copy and Compare modes, the KanguruClone Hard Drive Duplicator has several
additional operations that are incredibly useful, including ERASE and VERIFY. The following
chapter will cover these operations.
5.1 Erase
To erase drives connected to the duplicator:
1. Connect the drives to be erased to the duplicator. Note: By default, the Erase operation is not
performed on the drive connected to the Source port. This behavior can be changed in the
Settings menu (see section 6.5 Option Settings on page 17)
2. From the Main menu, configure the Erase Mode.
3. Tap ERASE .
5.1.1 Erase Modes
The KanguruClone duplicator supports multiple Erase modes that you can use depending on how
securely you need the data erased.
• CUSTOM - Performs a custom erase based on settings defined in the Settings menu (see section
6.4 Erase Settings on page 17)
• QUICK - Overwrite the partition table. This is the quickest erase mode, but least secure.
• FULL - Overwrite all sectors. This is a slower erase mode but more secure.
• WIPE - Perform a multi-pass erase. This is the slowest erase mode, but most secure.
○ Pass 1: Overwrite all addressable locations with binary zeroes.
○ Pass 2: Overwrite all addressable locations with binary ones.
○ Pass 3: Overwrite all addressable locations with a random bit pattern.
○ Verify the final overwrite pass.
5.2 Verify
Verify checks all ports and verifies that all connected devices can be read. To verify all drives
connected to the duplicator:
1. Connect the drives to the duplicator.
2. From the Main menu, tap Verify .
