Using the 1:5 HDD Cruiser
Main Menu
Secure Erase
The “Secure Erase” function will sanitize (wipe clean of all data) the hard disk
drives connected to the 1:5 HDD Copy Cruiser using algorithms programmed by
the hard drive manufacturer. Since this function is native to the hard drive, it is very
fast and reliable. Almost all modern SATA hard drives support this feature. In the
rare case that Secure Erase is not supported, please use the “Overwrite” function to
sanitize your hard drives.
1. Load up to 6 HDDs that you would like to sanitize into the 1:5 HDD Cruiser.
The system will auto-detect the hard drives. Using the arrow buttons (or)
select “Secure Erase”. The following screen will be displayed.
2. Press ENT to select. The following conrmation screen will be displayed.
3. To perform a “Secure Erase”, select “Yes” and a progress screen showing
elapsed time will be be displayed.
