Sometimes, the drive is encrypted by the utility provided by the drive manufacturer. Software encryption can be done by using native operating system encryption like Windows BitLocker, or other software utilities like LastPass, VeraCrypt, DiskCryptor, etc. When data is written to the drive it is encrypted using the key and is decrypted by the same key before it is presented to the program/user. This software-generated key is encrypted with a passphrase which the user needs to get access to the encrypted data. A software encryption program is used to encrypt data on a storage drive by creating a unique key and storing it on the computer memory and the storage drive. Encryption Types: Software and Hardware Encryptionĭata can be encrypted on the drives via software-based encryption or hardware-based encryption. In this event, the hacker cannot gain access to the data. Encryption provides a fortified layer of protection just in case unauthorized access is somehow granted to a computer network or storage device. Encrypted information cannot be accessed without using an encryption key or password. So, don't do what I did and set the eraser up on your desk with four drives attached, because you won't be able to sit at your desk for ages.Encryption is the technique of converting data from plaintext (unencrypted) to ciphertext (encrypted), an unreadable code in order to prevent unauthorized access. One thing I'd like to remind you of is that erasing hard drives takes time. To ensure your records are complete for auditing, the hard drive eraser features a nine-pin serial port that can connect to a serial printer to provide on-demand erase logs.
You can also connect the eraser to a computer to quickly access the drive that's attached to port-1 on the eraser. The hard drive eraser is easy-to-use, thanks to its convenient menu navigation system, with push-button operation and a built-in LCD display that clearly identifies the erase modes and task status.
