Erasing Secure Disk Drives

Use the Secure Erase option only if you want to remove all of the data on the disk drive and reset the disk drive security attributes.


Attention:

Possible loss of data access – The Secure Erase option removes all of the data that is currently on the disk drive. This action cannot be undone.

Before you complete this option, make sure that the disk drive that you have selected is the correct disk drive. This action cannot be undone. You will not be able to recover any of the data that is currently on the disk drive.

After you complete the Secure Erase option procedure, the disk drive is available for use in another array or in another storage subsystem.
