and checking the sectors in the Master Boot Record, the Primary GPT, and
the Secondary GPT.

randomly to determine whether they are blank.
Complete Reads in 100% of the available sectors to check if the drive is blank.
A sector is considered blank if it contains only the same repeated 2-byte pattern. Any non-
repeating pattern is considered to be non-blank. However, each individual sector may contain
different repeating patterns. If any sector is found to not be blank, the drive is not considered
blank, and the blank check will stop.
