What about if a consultant wants to do a drive wipe themselves? I've had some experience with this at prior jobs including at IBM, where customers paid more to choose the drive retention option to never allow a drive out of the datacenter, or they'd just pay a consultant to do the drive wipes for them. This experience got me thinking that it sure would be good to bone up on how a proper drive wipe is done these days, with all the right certification documentation to prove that it was done properly. Let me explain.ĭuring my recent revisit to the federal sector last year, I spent considerable time in the DC area doing hands-on consulting again, much like I had done in the early 2000s. But when it comes to doing some actual consulting that should include a receipt that the work was done correctly, the quick-and-dirty approach isn't going to cut it. There are tools that I've talked about here at TinkerTry before such as Parted Magic that does offer S SD/NVMe secure erase. Some hurried home lab enthusiasts who need to wipe a HDD or SSD may find themselves thinking about DBAN (Darik's Boot and Nuke), only to realize it hasn't been updated in many years, it doesn't do SSDs, and it provides no certificate.
