We've used Boot and Nuke, which has several options for number of 0/1 write passes. http://dban.sourceforge.net/
I'm not sure what Joe's -safe option would be on something like this :-) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Al Mulnick Sent: Wednesday, November 16, 2005 7:03 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] Recommendations for a DOD wipe of a RAID Array? Jose, you might want to check with the Symantec support site to find something that meets DoD spec. If not, there are lots of inexpensive options such as http://www.stompsoft.com/drivewasher2.html that claim to meet that standard. Pretty much, it means many passes of writing 1's and 0's to all sectors on the media, so you *could* even do this yourself if you really really wanted to. I think there should be a joeware tool for it <g> -ajm >From: "Jose Medeiros" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [email protected] >To: <[email protected]> >Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] Recommendations for a DOD wipe of a RAID Array? >Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2005 00:32:06 -0800 > >Thanks for the reply Brian, I suggested that as well.
