5.3.2.1 Secure Erase
Choose ON to Secure Erase the selected Destination drive(s). Most drives
support this function. Secure Erase will send a command to the drive
instructing it to reset itself to the specifications the drive manufacturer
has set.
Secure Erase will not work on drives connected
through the USB or PCIe ports.
For SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) drives, Secure Erase
sends a ‘Format’ command. For SATA (Serial-ATA)
drives, Secure Erase sends a ‘Security Erase Unit’
command. For SATA drives that support ‘Enhanced
Security Erase Unit’ commands, the enhanced
command will be sent.
Since Secure Erase is controlled by the drive, for
questions on how each drive supports these
features, or what the drive will do with these
commands, please contact the drive manufacturer.
5.3.2.2 Wipe Patterns
This setting allows the user to set a specific wipe pattern or patterns to
use for wiping the drive. The number of passes is customizable (up to 7
passes) along with the type of data written for each pass. In addition, a 7-
pass DoD wipe can be set with pre-selected pass values.
There are 4 selections when setting a wipe pattern:
 MODE
 HPA/DCO/ACS3
 LBAS
 PASSES
It is recommended to use the same capacity drives
per task. When smaller capacity drives are wiped
together with larger capacity drives, the smaller
drives will finish first. However, the ports will not
be available until the entire task is finished.
5.3.2.2.1 Mode
Selecting Mode will open the Wipe Mode screen
showing 3 options:
 NONE – Choosing this will instruct the Falcon-
NEO not to perform a wipe using Wipe Mode.
