General Drive-wipe This is a standardised process we use throughout our server recycle process, this includes a SMART test.   Active KillDisk (HMG IS5 Enhanced) When you erase data with Active@ KillDisk, you destroy data permanently by conforming to any one of more than twenty international data sanitizing standards or using your own custom settings at the end of each drive-wipe you will be provided with a certificate which clarifies serial numbers, date, time etc. During the Killdisk process we select the (3 passes) option where the write head passes over each sector three times, writing zeroes (0x00), then 0xFF, and finally random characters. Killdisk is chargeable per disk wiped.
