The TaskForce MegaWipe represents the most advanced mass wiping technology available.

Key Features

Wiping Power & Speed

The TaskForce MegaWipe securely wipes up to 26 drives simultaneously at their top native speeds, achieving cumulative speeds up to 100 TB/h. Each unit handles up to 20 SATA drives using 8 SATA ports, 8 SAS/SATA ports, and 4 USB ports with SATA adapters. All parallel wiping sessions are isolated and independent.

Pre-Wipe Drive Diagnostics

Save time and resources with comprehensive diagnostics before wiping:

• 5-minute automated health check for each drive
• Multi-launch diagnostics - test multiple drives simultaneously
• Identifies defective drives before wasting wipe attempts
• Diagnoses unrecognized drives using electrical current analysis
• Complete subsystem testing: PCB, motor, heads, surface, firmware, SMART
• Detailed reports documenting drive condition
• Smart workflow: Route good drives to wiping, bad drives to physical destruction

This critical feature prevents wasting hours attempting to wipe defective drives that should go directly to physical shredding.

Security Features

• Physical write protection switches on each port prevent accidental erasure
• Target mode required for wiping - drives must be explicitly set to allow erasure
• LED indicators show write protection status for each port
• Verification algorithm confirms complete data destruction
• Session isolation ensures no cross-contamination between drives

Port Configuration (Per Base Unit)

26 Total Ports with Industrial-Grade Protection:

Data Sanitization Methods

TaskForce MegaWipe supports the following methods for complete and secure drive wiping:

• Secure Erase / Format NVM / Sanitize - Hardware-based instant erase for SSDs
• NIST 800-88 - Clear and Purge methods (includes re-reading of wiped range)
• DoD 5220.22-M - 3-pass overwrite standard
• DoD 5220.22-M ECE - 7-pass extended standard
• Pattern Fill - Fill sectors with user-defined pattern

Verification Process:

1. Fills 100 evenly-spaced sectors with 'AtolaTechnology' pattern
2. Wipes entire drive or selected range using chosen method
3. Verifies the 100 sectors no longer contain the pattern
4. Optional: Format to exFAT after wiping complete

Configuration Options

Standard configuration: 20 SATA drives per unit using 8 SATA, 8 SAS/SATA, and 4 USB-to-SATA interface connections. Speeds based on tested specifications: 100 TB/h for 26 drives at native speeds

Multi-User Operational Advantages by Configuration:

Standard (1 units): Perfect for small ITAD operations or IT departments. One operator can manage the system while supervisors monitor remotely.

Pro (2 units): Ideal for facilities with 2-3 technicians per shift. One operator loads/unloads while another monitors diagnostics. Supervisor reviews reports remotely.

Ultra (3 units): Supports larger teams with specialized roles - loading technicians, diagnostics operators, and QA reviewers all working simultaneously without interference.

Max (5 units): Essential for 24/7 operations with multiple shifts. Different user profiles for each shift maintain accountability. Management dashboard provides real-time visibility across all 100 drives from any location.

Who It's Built For

ITAD Service Providers

Process multiple clients simultaneously with isolated, independent wiping sessions. Each drive's process is completely separate, ensuring data security and compliance. The unlimited multi-user access allows multiple technicians to operate the system simultaneously while supervisors monitor progress remotely - perfect for high-volume facilities with multiple shifts.

Data Centers & Cloud Providers

Efficiently manage hardware refresh cycles and decommissioning projects. Process entire storage arrays with predictable throughput and automated documentation.

Enterprise IT Departments

Bring data sanitization in-house to reduce costs and maintain security. Process end-of-lease equipment and manage refresh cycles without outsourcing.

Government & Compliance-Driven Organizations

Meet sanitization standards with detailed documentation. Support multiple wipe methods including DoD 5220.22-M and NIST SP 800-88.

The Economics of Pre-Wipe Diagnostics

Industry data shows 15-20% of drives in ITAD facilities are defective. Without diagnostics:

• Wasting 3+ hours attempting to wipe a bad drive
• Tying up valuable ports and resources
• Delaying processing of healthy drives

With TaskForce MegaWipe diagnostics:

• 5-minute test identifies bad drives immediately
• Route defective drives directly to shredding
• Focus resources on viable drives only
• Document drive conditions for client reporting

How TaskForce MegaWipe™ Fits Into Your Workflow

The system integrates seamlessly into existing ITAD workflows with an intelligent, efficiency-first approach:

Step 1: Diagnostics (Optional but Recommended) Use Multi-launch to run 5-minute diagnostics on batches of drives. Quickly identify which drives are healthy enough to wipe versus defective drives that should go directly to physical destruction. This prevents wasting hours on drives that cannot be successfully wiped.

Step 2: Efficient Wiping Load healthy drives into Device Rack bays, connect to available ports (using USB-to-SATA adapters for maximum SATA capacity), and select the appropriate wipe method. All parallel wiping sessions are isolated and independent - you can unplug completed drives and connect new ones without interrupting other operations.

Step 3: Documentation Automatic reports document both the diagnostics results and complete wiping process, providing comprehensive audit trails for compliance.

The Multi-launch mode enables you to select multiple drives for diagnostics, wiping, or hashing operations and start them all with a single click. The built-in Web API enables automation and integration with existing workflow systems.
