- Main application Features:
- • Erase data from hard disk drives
- • Erase verification only mode
- • Quick Format
- • Drive Diagnostics
- Parallel operations:
- • Multiple Session Operations: User can run a multiple efficient parallel operation on any available ports. There are some limitations on the number of simultaneous sessions:The desktop model has 8 sessions limitation. However, user can combine more than one port/storage devices in the same sessions. Also. user can mix different type of operations, and each operation is set as a new independent session. Example of operations: Erase data with DoD protocol from a hard disk drive on one port, Quick format hard disk drive on a second port, while performing user-erase hard disk drives on the remaining ports.
- • Hard Drive Detection Application Screen: All hard disk drives and storage devices that are connected to the units will be scanned and displayed in one application screen, called “the detection screen”. User can tap on each drive to get its detailed info, as well as selecting it for the desired operation they are planning to use
- • Multiple Session Application Screen: All running sessions are displayed in one Application Screen. The application screen shows the name of the session, the operation of the session, the error or abortion flag, completion progress bar, successful completion flag. User can abort a session, tap on a session to monitor its real time running progress and get detailed setting. It is a very easy way to view, navigate, and control the sessions
- Main Erase Modes:
- • Continuous Mode: The user can run continuous erase operations with a multiple session operation. (The numbers of sessions are limited to the number of available CPU cores (8 for this unit). Each port, whether SAS/SATA or USB, can be used as an independent session for the erase operation. The user plugs a device into a port and can then run a session with the erase operation on the selected port. The user can abort the operation in the middle of the run, independent of other running sessions. When an erase session is completed, the user can continue to remove the erased device from the port and replace it with another device that needs erasing. All of this is possible while other sessions are still continuously running
- • Batch Mode: The user can select and run a single session with certain ports and devices. For example, you can combine all 8 channels into one session
- Ports:
- • Native SAS: 8 Ports
- • Native SATA: 8 Ports
- • USB3.0: 6 Ports(4 in front and 4 in back panel)
- More Erase Ports:
- With the use of USB3.0 to SATA fast adapters the unit can support erase up to 14 SATA Hard Disk Drives.
- Erase and Quick Format Operation:
- Hard Disk Drive Erase Protocols:
- • DoD 5220-22M (ECE) Mode: Use 7 passes/iteration to rewrite the drive and use the last 8th pass/iteration for verification
- • DoD Lite 5220-22M (E) Mode: Use 3 passes/iteration to rewrite the drive and use the last 4th pass/iteration for verification
- • Security Erase Mode: Use the internal firmware of the drive to perform internal drive erase. the erase operation overwrites all user data areas with binary zeroes. It is most efficient operation and save the time to to perform 8 iteration. It has a built-in verification process. (It supported by SATA drives that MFG after year 2000)
- • Enhanced Security Erase Mode: It is very similar to Security Erase mode. It is the most recommended erase mode for drives that supported by this mode. The Enhanced Security Erase mode writes pre-determined data patterns (set by the manufacturer) to all user data areas, including sectors that are no longer in use due to re-allocation
- • User Erase Mode: User can define it own parameters on how to run the erase operation. User can decide on the final pattern of the data that will be writing to the drive, the number of erase iterations, and the verification mode ( Non, Full, partial which is randomly verify up to 10% of the area on the drive)
- NIST Compliance: Security Erase, Enhanced Security Erase, DoD erase protocols are all NIST 800-88 compliance. User Erase mode is NIST compliance only when user enable the full verification option
- Erase Drives with pass-code: The application will be able to erase drives that are password protected only if user have the pass-code. A user shell insert the pass-code in Security Erase setting prior running the erase operation
- Quick Format: NTFS, FAT, exFAT, HFS+, EXT4
- Logs and Erase Certification: The application generates extensive erase log files and erase certification (option to save to in NIST 800-88 format) that are easy to export to USB flash drive. user can upload their company Logo and business address and the application will embed it in the report. Also the user will be able to enter a constant text (like a job #), that will be automatically append into the erase certificate
- Drive Diagnostics and S.M.A.R.T. drive tests: If user intend to erase drives for re-use purpose, it would be recommended to to run some “Health test” on the drive prior to erase process. There are available are 4 type of drive diagnostic tests: Read Verify test (works on all storage protocols), Short Test (2-5 minutes) which scan random area on the drive, Extended
- Full Test (Can take hours) that scan the entire drive, or
- Conveyance Test that identify damage incurred during transporting of
- the drive, to evaluate the “health” condition of the drive prior
- to erase operation (SMART test support by SATA protocols only)
- New!!SQL Logfiles Database: The user be able to manage the log files in one SQL database. Easily export all the log files
- Expansion capabilities and the main hardware options:
- Expansion Slots: Optional expansion slots (3 PCIE 3.0) that can be configured at time of purchasing the main unit to supports many different kinds of storage devices such as: SCSI, FC, 1394, TB, Express cards, Mini PCIE, M.2 PCIE NVMe and more. The Supports is limited to the total number of available Expansion slots.
- USB3.0 to SATA adapters and Kits Option:Today USB3.0 technology is extremely fast and can run read data from SSD drives up to 20GB/min.With the use of USB3.0 to SATA 4 channel Kit, user can convert 4 USB3.0 ports to 4 SATA ports on any unit. The optional Kit is supplied with one external PS and it includes all the cabling to power and connect the 4 USB3.0 to SATA adapters. The tested performance when running 4 adapters in parallel was measured at a very high speed and very little speed degradation.
- SCSI Expansion and Configuration Option: User can configured the unit at time of purchasing of the main unit with SCSI controller cards. . There are 2 kits available: 6 Drives SCSI and 3 Drives SCSi Supports. The kits includes: SCSI LVDS 3 channel cables (68pin connectors), SCSI terminators, VHDCI to SCSI adapters, SCA80 and HD50 SCSI adapters to supports old SCSI drives, external PS, and a separate SCSI drive bay that can house up to 6 SCSI drives with cooling fans. The PCIE 3.0 expansion slot do provides a very high bandwidth and the application can achieves a very high speed meeting SCSI drives transfer rates.
