WipeOS originally began as a data erasure solution. Over the years we have worked with out clients to develop something very powerful. WipeOS reports all pertinent details of the hard drive before the wipe begins. This can help businesses determine if a drive is being wiped for security and compliance reasons or for reuse and resale.
SSD/HDD
WipeOS supports a wide variety of storage devices.
This month we are looking at SSD/HDD drives.
Drives can be either Solid State Drive
(SSD) or Hard Disk Drive (HDD). An HDD
has a piece of spinning ceramic with a
read/write heads jumping around the disk.
HDDs are a type of non-volatile storage,
retaining stored data even when powered off.
A Solid State Drive has no physical
movement of actuators, heads or monitors.
It is based on NAND flash storage, with
nanoparticles being charged or discharged
in situ. An SSD has much quicker read/write
times than an HDD and has become the
preferred technology used in many devices.
WipeOS is a secure data erasure at its core. It's what it was originally designed to do and it does a great job of doing it.
