The Falcon-NEO will perform each of the settings sequentially.
For example, if Secure Erase is set to ON, a Wipe Pattern
mode is specified, and Format is set to On, the Falcon-NEO
will first secure erase the drive, then wipe the drive according
to the mode specified, then format the drive.

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.
For questions on how each drive supports these
features, or what the drive will do with these
commands, please contact the drive manufacturer.
