Secure Erase
The “Secure Erase” function will sanitize (wipe clean of all data) the hard disk 
drives connected to the 1:1 HDD Copy Cruiser using algorithms programmed by

rare case that Secure Erase is not supported, please use the “Overwrite” function to 
sanitize your hard drives.

system will auto-detect the hard drives. Using the arrow buttons ( or) 
select “Secure Erase”. The following screen will be displayed.
