F.			Secure	Erase	
The “Secure Erase” function will sanitize (wipe clean of all data) the hard disk 
drives connected to the HDD Copy Cruiser IDE/SATA High-Speed WL using algo-
rithms programmed 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 “Overwrite” function to sanitize your hard drives.

estimated time elapsed for the Secure Erase process will be displayed.
