If it's a 1TB drive and below the TBW warranty, I'll rma it, otherwise, dispose. Found the drive holding up the raid array. Low and behold, DD erase either hangs or writes very poor like 2meg/sec. If I have a suspect drive or drives in a mirrored OS set, and I don't know which is causing grief but I'm getting lagging writes, I make a best guess on SMART data, yank that out of the array, secure erase, and then erase with DD. It should be doing the full 400-500 meg/sec. If you suspect the drive might be having write issues, I also hit it with the erase with DD erase for a minute or so, and watch the write speed. It will reset every bit on the flash to zeros. Just got the email a few days ago on a new release too.Īs for wiping the SSD, use the secure erase.
It is one of the USBs I carry with me at all times.
I pay the annual sub, for they are always updating drivers for that one off motherboard or raid card drivers that you need when going to a customer / site, and you need to wipe the meta data off a drive and or clone some odd ball. I've used Parted Magic secure erase for so many years, I can't even count.
