Securely erase up to four SATA drives simultaneously with this standalone hard drive sanitizer&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This hard drive eraser provides standalone simultaneous drive erasing for up to four 2.5 in. or 3.5 in. SATA hard drives or solid-state drives.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Save timewith a four-bay standalone eraser&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Unlike hard-drive docking stations or adapters that require a computer connection and software to erase drives this hard drive sanitizer features standalone erasing that doesnt require a host computer. This avoids the hassle of connecting your drives to a host computer and protects your drives from external security threats like remote data access.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The four-bay design maximizes efficiency by batching multiple drives in single erase projects saving you valuable time. The hard drive eraser supports USB 3.0 also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1with file transfer rates of up to5Gbps.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Maximum versatility with multiple erase modes&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Using industry-recognized erase modes thehard driveeraser securely sanitizes the data from your 2.5 in. or 3.5 in. SSDs or HDDs. It supports nine erase modes includingQuick Erase Single and Multi-pass Overwrites Custom Erase NIST 800-88 Rev. 1 Purge compliant Secure Erase and Enhanced Secure Erase. The Multi-pass Overwrite (3-Pass Full Disk Overwrite)erase procedures meet the requirements of DoD (5220.22-M) standards.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Support for a variety of erase modes makes this drive eraser perfect for virtually any professional application. Single-Pass Overwrite is ideal for IT technicians and system administrators who decommission and repurpose old hard drives while Quick and Secure Erase Single Pass Overwrite and Multi-pass Overwrite modes (meeting DoD standards)are ideal solutions for research laboratories health offices law offices and accountants who manage sensitive data and require secure erasing to avoid potential privacy breaches.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;In addition to supporting 2.5 in./3.5 in. SATA SSDs and HDDs the hard drive eraser also workswith 2.5 in. and 3.5 in.
