Application Main Operation:
Erase data from drives Erase Verification Format Drive Diagnostics Erase and Format Operation: Drive Erase Protocols: DoD 5220-22M (ECE) Mode: Use 7 passes/iterations to rewrite the drive and use the last 8th pass/iteration for verification. DoD Lite 5220-22M (E) Mode: Use 3 passes/iterations to rewrite the drive and use the last 4th pass/iteration for verification. Security Erase Mode: Use the internal firmware of the drive to perform internal drive erases. The erase operation overwrites all the user’s data areas with binary zeroes. It is the most efficient operations and saves time, allowing the user to perform 8 iterations. It has a built-in verification process (it is supported by SATA drives that MFG after year 2000). Enhanced Security Erase Mode: It is very similar to the Security Erase mode. It is the recommended erase mode for drives that are supported by this mode. The Enhanced Security Erase mode writes pre-determined data patterns (set by the manufacturer) to all the user’s data areas, including sectors that are no longer in use due to reallocation. “User” Erase Mode: The user can define their own parameters on how to run the erase operation. The user can decide on the final pattern of the data that will be written on the drive, the number of erase iterations, and the verification mode (none, full, partial, all of which is randomly verified up to 10% of the areas on the drive). Sanitize Erase Mode: Supported mostly by SAS SSD. There are 3 types: 1. Rewrites the media. 2. Block erase – similar to security erase. and 3. Crypto – where the drive f/w encrypts the data and throws away the encryption key. NVMe Format Mode for NVMe SSD with 3 types: 1. NVMe Format. 2. Security Crypto Erase – for drives that support it (it fills the drive after the erase using random data so the user will not be able to run a Verify after. This is similar to Crypto mode of Sanitize or Enhanced Security Erase). 3. Security User Erase – for drives that support it (NVMe Format is the best way to erase drives with multiple namespaces). NIST Compliance: Security Erase, Enhanced Security Erase, DoD erase, Sanitize, and NVMe erase protocols are all NIST 800-88 compliant. The “User” erase mode is NIST compliant only when the user enables the full verification option. Erase Drives with passcode: The application will be able to erase drives that are password protected only if the user has the passcode. The user needs to insert the passcode in the Security Erase setting prior to running the erase operation. Drive Format: NTFS, FAT, exFAT, HFS+, EXT4. Drive Diagnostics Operation: Drive Diagnostics tests and S.M.A.R.T. drive tests: If the user intends to erase a drive for re-use purpose, it is recommended to run some “Health test” on the drive prior to the erase process. There are 4 available types of tests: Read-Verify: supported by all storage protocols. Short Test (2-5 minutes): scans random areas on the drive. Extended Full Test (Can take hours): scans the entire drive. Conveyance Test: identifies damage incurred during the transporting of the drive to evaluate the “health” condition of the drive prior to the erase operation (S.M.A.R.T. is only supported by SATA/SAS/SCSI storage protocols, it is not supported by NVMe SSD). Logs and Erase Certification: The application generates extensive erase log files and erase certifications (option to save to NIST 800-88 format) that are easy to export to USB flash drives. The user can add his company logo to the erase certification and also add additional info on the erase runs that will append to the certification. SQL Log files Database: The user is able to manage the log files in one SQL database that can be easily exported.
Parallel Operations:
Multiple Session Operation: Versatility with Multiple Cloning Sessions: The user can assign and select one source and many target ports into one session of cloning. Also, the user can have many sessions of cloning; each will have one source drive and at least one target drive. This gives the user more possibilities to use the unit in a very efficient way. The user can run multiple, simultaneous, parallel operations using any available ports. Also, the user can combine more than one port/storage device to run in the same sessions. In addition, the user can mix different types of operations, and each operation is set as a new independent session. An example of operations: Erase data from a drive that is connected to the first port, quick copy using drives connected to ports 2 and 3, and so on. Multiple Sessions Application Screen: All running sessions are displayed in one “Application Screen”. The “Application Screen” shows the name of the session, the operation of the session, the error or abortion flag, the progress completion bar, and the successful completion flag. The user can abort a session, tap on a session to monitor its real-time running progress, and get the specific detailed setting for that run. It is a very easy way to view, navigate, and control the sessions. Drive Detection Application Screen: All drives and storage devices that are connected to the unit will be scanned and displayed in one application screen called “The Detection Screen”. The user can tap on each drive to get the drives detailed info, perform a specific operation on that drive, like resizing it, as well as select it for the desired operation they are planning to use.
Expansion Capabilities and Main Hardware Options (depends on availability of the PCIE slots):
Expansion Slots: Optional expansion slots (3 PCIE 3.0) that can be configured at the time of purchasing the main unit to support many different kinds of storage devices, such as SCSI, FC, 1394, TB, Express cards, Mini PCIE, M.2 PCIe NVMe and more. The Supports is limited to the total number of available Expansion slots. USB3.0 to SATA Adapters and Kits Option: Today USB3.0 technology is extremely fast and can run read data from SSD drives up to 20GB/min. With the use of USB3.0 to SATA 4 channel Kit, the user can convert 4 USB3.0 ports to 4 SATA ports on any of MediaClone’s units. The optional Kit is supplied with one external PS and it includes all the cabling to power and connect the 4 USB3.0 ports to SATA adapters. The tested performance of the unit, when running 4 adapters in parallel, was measured at a very high speed and with very little speed degradation. SCSI Expansion and Configuration Option: The user can select to configure the unit, at the time of purchasing, with SCSI controller cards. The kits include an SCSI LVDS 3 channel cable (68pin connectors), SCSI terminator, VHDCI to SCSI adapter, and SCA80 and HD50 SCSI adapters to support old SCSI drives and external PS. The PCIE 3.0 expansion slots provide a very high bandwidth, and the application can achieve very high-speed, meeting SCSI drives transfer rates. 1394 Expansion Configuration Option: The unit can be configured with a 1394 PCIE controller to support 1394 devices (1394 devices can easily be daisy chained). 8 SAS/SATA Expansion Box: Optional expansion adding 8 more SAS/SATA ports to the unit for a total of 16 SAS/SATA ports. Fiber Channel Expansion and Configuration Option: The user can configure the unit at the time of purchasing the main unit with FC controller cards. The 2 drives FC Kit includes FC dual ports 4 Gigabit/s controller, 2 FC drive’s adapters, 2 Optical 1m cables, and 2 Transceivers. The PCIE 3.0 expansion slot provides a very high bandwidth and allows the application to achieve a very high speed, meeting FC drives transfer rates. USB3.0/SATA to M.2 (NGFF) SATA base adapters Option: Most current laptops and tablets use M.2 (NGFF) storage devices. This adapter supports connectivity to some of the newest M.2 SSD storages (storage that is supported by SATA protocols). There is a class of SSD drives with NGFF connectors that are not supported by SATA protocols and therefore are not supported by these adapters. The M.2 NGFF connectors came in a variety of models (B, M, B+M) and were not standardized until 2014. There are 2 types of adapters that support M.2 NGFF – one is USB3.0 to M.2 and the second is SATA to M.2. USB3.0 to M.2 (NGFF) PCIE base adapters Option: A few adapters are available to support Mini-PCIE SSD NGFF that are used in MacBook Air 2012, MacBook Pro Retina 2012, and MacBook 2013. Some Macs do not have a standard connector, such as the MacBook Air 2013 (12+16). NVMe 2 ports: Supports M.2 and 2.5” U.2 NVMe. Order this option at the time of purchasing the main unit. Another available option is the NVMe adapter that supports M.2 110mm and NVMe PCIE storage cards. Built-in the US: The units are built and tested in the US.
