Erasing A Disk Drive - SimpleTech SimpleShare User Manual

RASING A ISK
Erasing disks destroys the existing data on the disks. Do not
use this function unless you wish to destroy the data on a disk.
Exercise extreme caution when using this function, as the
data on disks that are erased using this function may not be
recoverable.
Quick erase only takes a few minutes to complete. However,
portions of the data may be recoverable using data recovery
tools. If you are concerned about erased data becoming
available to others, perform a full erase. Keep in mind that a
full erase takes several days to complete. If the data on
SimpleShare is encrypted, it may not be necessary to
perform a full erase. Since the data is encrypted, any data
recovered will be encrypted. To decrypt the data requires
knowledge of the encryption password.
