F.			Secure	Erase	
The “Secure Erase” function will sanitize (wipe clean of all data) the hard disk 
drives connected to the HDD Copy Cruiser High-Speed WL using algorithms pro-
grammed by the hard drive manufacturer.  Since this function is native to the hard 
drive, it is very fast and reliable.  Almost all modern SATA hard drives support this 
feature.  In the rare case that Secure Erase is not supported, please use the “Over-
write” function to sanitize your hard drives. 
F1. To perform a Secure Erase, scroll to “Secure Erase” and press OK. The 
estimated time elapsed for the Secure Erase process will be displayed. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
F2. When the process is finished, the following screen will be shown. 
       Note: Not all hard disk drives support Secure Erase, although most modern SATA HDDs do.  If any of your drives do not support Secure Erase, you will see a “Dev. Not Support” error message.
