Data Erasure FAQs

What is secure data erasure?

There are several methods that result in secure data deletion. The use of erasing software is recommended when the storage media is to be reused. For example, when re-selling IT equipment that already contains information. If the software is certified and approved, it can be used on spinning Hard Disk Drives (HDD), Solid State Drives (SSD), mobile phones and memory cards. The software then also deletes the hidden areas and remapped sectors. Deletion is done according to government standards such as NIST, DOD and many more. Physical destruction of hard drives is another option. You can either expose hard drives (HDD) and tapes to a strong magnetic field with a degausser or simply grind the entire device down to small fragments with a hard drive chewer (a so-called shredder).

What is the best way to dispose of hard drives?

Best practices can involve using data erasure software to securely overwrite data on HDDs and SSDs, including the hidden areas and remapped sectors. Deletion is done according to government standards such as NIST, DOD and many more. Physical destruction of hard drives can be done with a degausser that uses a powerful magnetic field, which erases not only the data but removes the servo tracks, rendering the media unusable. The most obvious destruction solution is to shred hard drives and other media into tiny, tiny pieces. This is called shredding or fragmentation. These machines smash a hard drive or SSD into pieces so small that the data cannot be recovered from the media or memory chips.

Does data erasure remove files and clean the drive?

Data erasure is the removal of data from a storage device such that it cannot be recovered. Data erasure software repeatedly writes a pattern of 1's and 0's over all of the data locations on a hard drive or SSD so that the original data is no longer accessible. The software also removes all data from temporary locations. File erasure software allows the user to target all instances of specific files to be erased, instead of wiping all data from the entire storage media.

How do I perform a complete data erasure?

Best practices involve using data erasure software to securely overwrite data on hard drives and SSDs, including the hidden areas and remapped sectors. Erasure is done per government standards such as NIST, DOD, and many more.Erasure software is used before the drives are transported to equipment for physical destruction to eliminate the possibility of data being intercepted during transport. Physical destruction on hard disk drives can be done with a degausser that uses a powerful magnetic field, which erases not only the data but removes the servo tracks, making the media unusable. The most permanent and final destruction solution involves the use of granulators, also known as shredders. These machines rip, tear, or smash a hard drive or SSD into pieces so small that data cannot be recovered from the media or memory chips.

How long does data erasure take?

Data erasure can occur in minutes when an encryption key is digitally shredded. Otherwise, erasure can take minutes to hours, depending on the capacity and performance level of the storage media.
