8.10 Crypto-erase
Crypto-erase will delete all data on the drive, and remove any users or security settings on the drive.
Crypto-erase is a safe way to dispose of or repurpose drives without compromising the data that was on
them. Following the crypto-erase, standard tools can be used to reformat and re-use the drives. Only an
initialized drive can be crypto-erased.
To perform a crypto-erase:
1. Log into Windows with the same account as the drive administrator.
2. Open ESC.
3. Select the Trusted Drive tab.
4. Click Manage.
5. Click Erase.
Additional Features On This Screen – Password Synchronization, Single Sign On,
Remember Last User Name and Allow tabbing of User Names are all features that do
not apply to secondary drives in this software release. While they can be checked,
selecting them will not change the behavior of a secondary drive.
Disabling drive security exposes the encrypted data to ANY user who gains
access to the drive on ANY computer.
This process is not reversible, once the drive is crypto-erased, the data cannot
be recovered from the drive.
