Erasure Method
Details
Secure High Spd.
Overwrites the entire hard disk with random data. No verification is performed to check if the data was correctly
written. Choose this method to erase highly confidential data. Note that it may be possible to read the overwrit-
ten data using specialized data recovery tools.
Secure

if the data was correctly written. Choose this method to erase especially confidential data. It is virtually impossi-
ble to recover the overwritten data. Conforms to the DoD5220.22-M standard of the U.S. Department of De-
fense.
