Key details for drive erasure

Choose from nine erase modes

Select from Quick Erase, single- or multi-pass overwrites, Custom Erase, Secure Erase and Enhanced Secure Erase. This range helps you match the process to your drive and data-handling requirements.

The three-pass full-disk overwrite meets DoD 5220.22-M requirements. The dock also supports secure erase procedures aligned with the NIST 800-88 Rev. 1 media sanitisation standard.

Keep a record of completed erasures

Connect an RS232 serial printer to produce a record of the erase procedure. The receipt shows the time, date and erase mode, giving teams a practical audit record.

A printed confirmation can help technicians and administrators document the handling of sensitive information. The printer connects through the dock’s serial port.

Erase drives independently

The dock performs erasure without a host computer, which helps when preparing drives for reuse or repurposing. Its top-loading, single-bay design makes drives accessible during use.

For computer-free operation, select an erase mode on the dock and follow the on-screen process. The compact unit measures 123 × 140 × 70 mm and weighs 656 g.
