Check with your vendor or CE. Most vendors have the ability for the CE to do a secure erase that meets most requirements. I had to excess a virtual tape system that did not support the erase. We wound up pulling the drives and send them to be shredded.

Can someone out there tell me if the "Secure Data Erase" feature works with internal hard drives as the physical media, as well as with take cartridges?
