heading on the main menu, the numbers: .1, .2, .3, etc. indicate the option within the Erase sub menu.
4.1 Quick Erase
The function will ONLY erase the index of the HDD, which is the quickest way to erase it. Quick Erase will damage the data on the HDD, so please make sure you have backed up all important data before using this function.
4.2 Full Erase
The function will erase the whole drive by overwriting each sector on the target HDD and will take longer than quick erase. Full Erase will damage the data on the HDD, so please make sure you have backed up all important data before using this function.
4.3 DoD Erase
DoD Erase is an erasing method that complies with the U.S.A. Department of Defense (DoD) standard. It can guarantee the data was fully deleted by erasing the HDD bit for bit three times. DoD Erase will damage the data on the HDD, so please make sure you have backed up all important data before using this function.
4.4 DoD Erase & Compare
DoD Erase & Compare performs a standard DoD Erase as described above, then performs a sector by sector check to verify that the drive has been erased. As it does the most thorough Erasing job, it is also takes the most time to complete.
3. Press OK to begin the erasing process.
4. Once the erase has completed the result will be displayed.
