Wipe Patterns; Mode - Logicube SuperSonix-NG User Manual

Logicube SuperSonix-NG™ User's Manual
If errors appear when performing Secure Erase,
contact the drive manufacturer to check if the
drive supports Secure Erase. For Secure Erase
specifications (what happens when the drive
receives the Secure Erase command), contact the
drive manufacturer.
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. 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 value 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, LBAS, PASSES.
It is recommended to use the same capacity drive
per task. When smaller capacity drives are wiped
together with larger capacity drives, the smaller
drives will finish first. However, the drive bays will
not be available until the entire task is finished.
