2. Disk formatting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_formatting

   NVMe drives have a standard method of formatting, available in, for example, the Linux command-line program nvme format. Sector size change and secure erase options are available. [23] Note that NVMe drives are generally solid-state, making this "track" distinction useless. Seagate Technology drives offer a TTL serial debugging console. [24]

3. Gutmann method - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gutmann_method

   The Gutmann method is an algorithm for securely erasing the contents of computer hard disk drives, such as files.Devised by Peter Gutmann and Colin Plumb and presented in the paper Secure Deletion of Data from Magnetic and Solid-State Memory in July 1996, it involved writing a series of 35 patterns over the region to be erased.

4. Data sanitization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_sanitization

   NVMe defines formatting with secure erase. [18] Opal Storage Specification specifies a command set for self-encrypting drives and cryptographic erase, available in addition to command-set methods. The drive usually performs fast cryptographic erasure when data is encrypted, and a slower data erasure by overwriting otherwise. [18]

6. Eraser (software) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eraser_(software)

   Eraser securely erases data by overwriting it such that the data is irrecoverable. [1] It supports a variety of data destruction standards, including British HMG IS5 (Infosec Standard 5), American DoD 5220.22-M , and the Gutmann method which features a 35-pass overwrite.

7. Trim (computing) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trim_(computing)

   The table below identifies each notable operating system and the first version supporting the command. Additionally, older solid-state drives designed before the addition of the TRIM command to the ATA standard will need firmware updates, otherwise the new command will be ignored. However, not every drive can be upgraded to support trimming.

8. Write amplification - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Write_amplification

   [33] [34] Many tools use the ATA Secure Erase command to reset the drive and provide a user interface as well. One free tool that is commonly referenced in the industry is called HDDerase . [ 34 ] [ 35 ] GParted and Ubuntu live CDs provide a bootable Linux system of disk utilities including secure erase.

9. Data erasure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_erasure

   According to the University of California, San Diego Center for Magnetic Recording Research's (now its Center for Memory and Recording Research) "Tutorial on Disk Drive Data Sanitization" (p. 8): "Secure erase does a single on-track erasure of the data on the disk drive. The U.S. National Security Agency published an Information Assurance ...
