StarTech.com, a manufacturer of connectivity parts including A/V products, computer parts, cables, and server management solutions, has released a new Standalone Eraser Dock. The data erasing solution is built to erase 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch solid-state drives or hard drives without connecting to a host device.
The dock offers nine erase modes such as: Quick Erase, Single and Multi-pass Overwrites, Custom Erase, 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.
As an added level of security, the dock prints a receipt of the data erasing procedure†to confirm that the data has been securely erased. The receipt is printed by connecting the dock to a serial printer and states the time, date, and erase mode used.
“The Standalone Eraser Dock is a versatile and handy tool for IT professionals to manage the various storage drives in the workplace. This product makes it easy to erase and verify the drive with complete security and peace of mind with clear operation records,” says Juliet Wei, senior product manager at StarTech.com.
Additional features of the Standalone Eraser Dock include:††††††††††††††††††††††
