What is the wiping speed of WipeOS?
Variables of Wiping Speed
The time that a wipe takes is based on many variables: The type of the drive, the RPM if its a spinning disk, the bus speed, the integrity of the cabling, the backplane, the RAID card or southbridge, the wipe method, the power supply, the CPU, RAM speed, etc. For the table below, the wipe method was NIST SP 800-88r1 Clear (1-pass) with Verify(10%), and the hardware used was as follows:
Dell Precision T3610
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1620 v2 @ 3.70GHz
