Secure Storage Erase enables users to replace the storage device without the possibility of anyone
recovering data or applications that are on the storage devices. Use this function only to remove all
stored data and applications on the storage device prior to removing it. Performing a Secure Storage
Erase can take more than 2 hours, depending on the size of the media and the Secure File Erase Mode
chosen. During this time the device is not accessible.
To use the Perform Secure Storage Erase function, select the storage devices, and click Perform
Secure Storage Erase. The device will restart and remove the data. It will remove the data according
to the secure file erase mode selected for the device (see
Device Security Settings on page 35 for access
to the Secure File Erase Mode). Performing a Secure Storage Erase with the File Erase Mode set to
Secure Fast Erase (default) will take 30 minutes or longer; performing it with the File Erase Mode set
to Secure Sanitize Erase will take 2 hours or longer.
WARNING! The device will not be available for use until the Secure Storage Erase function is finished.
