It sends the correct erase method to the drive and thereby wiping it, in less than 4 minutes.Īnother person also mentioned the drives OEM tool, which also works, in some cases, not all. Parted magic uses a gui tool that utilizes, I believe DD-parm, if I'm not mistaken. There was another random sampling of the drives later on with another different tool and method. I then verified the erase with an Enterprise grade forensic tool, conducting a random sampling of the drives. The actual government regulation for being HIPPA compliant is a good start, do a websearch of: 45 CFR 164.310(d)(2)(i) and (ii)
Of note, 35 overwrites on a magnetic disk to exclusively protect against recovering data by analyzing magnetic force microscopy between tracks is pure overkill since modern drives have much less distance between tracks making the likelihood of recovery unprobable if even impossible. This still leaves data on bad sectors compromised that can be read but not written to. In OPs case, Samsung makes a tool called Samsung Magician.īarring an OEM tool or a tool that works with the storage medium's firmware, overwriting the drive dozens of times will reduce the likelihood of data being recovered since 20-30 rewrites will cause wear-leveling to overwrite under used sectors but this is very impractical, let alone unreliable. Use the SSD/HDD OEM supplied erasure tools.
