Is there any way to Secure Erase an X400?Options
06-20-2016 08:02 AM Currently it doesn't seem like the dashboard will secure erase or allow a bootable USB to be created with the tools to perform a secure erase on a X400? Is there an alternative tool or is there an ETA when the dashboard will be updated to support this? Re: Is there any way to Secure Erase an X400?Options

Are you connecting the drive through USB adaptor ?

To my knowledge it doesn't work through an adapter. Currently I have it setup as a secondary drive.
Looking at the release notes for the latest version under known issues: "Cannot perform firmware update/Secure Erase/Crypto Erase or Sanitize using USB bootable drive if the drive is ULTRA II, X400, or Z400s" Is there an alternative method? Or a timeline for a fix? Re: Is there any way to Secure Erase an X400?Options

I have discussed with our development team and they are looking at it, they say a new version of dashboard will be released in a few more weeks. So you can try again after it. Re: Is there any way to Secure Erase an X400?Options
07-06-2016 01:37 AM To try BitLocker, go the Control Panel, click System and Security, and then click onBitLocker Drive Encryption. Select the drive and start the process. Encryption will take hours on a large disk, but you should be able to do other work on the system while encryption completes.

A new version (1.4.3) of dashboard has been released and it is supposed to solve this issue. Re: Is there any way to Secure Erase an X400?Options
