StarTech.com Hard Drive Eraser For 2.5 Or

being in an IT department support 250+ users, we go through our share of hard drives that have to be wiped and this makes it so convenient and safe!

Works great! Love the log function. Would not print to a newer RongTa printer, which I had to return. I never could get that printer baud rate to match (both need to be 9600). As far as I can tell, baud rate cannot be adjusted on StarTech erase machine. I ended up getting a used Epson TM-T20 serial printer on EBay. No USB or Wi-Fi on printer. Don’t need either. There was no need to program printer; worked by just connecting the serial cable. Also, no need to mess with printer dip switches, which the Epson did not have. Make sure the printer comes with a 9-pin serial cable, which is what the StarTech machine requires.

I'm a big fan of StarTech products. I've been using their adapters for many years. I find their line of secure HDD/SSD erasers to be a little inconsistent. Ideally, I wanted to buy one product that did EVERYTHING and was willing spend more. Unfortunately, I ended up with two products. There were a number of differences between the two products (e.g. the menus, the displays, look and feel, one worked with the IDE to SATA adapter and the other didn't, etc.) The biggest rub on this one was not knowing the percentage complete as it was running. The other product I own (SDOCK1EU3P2) does. In conclusion, this product works well and does a lot (duplication, secure erase, dock, etc.) but I'd still like a countdown to progress for time management purposes. Hopefully in their next product.

I like this Stardock Drive Eraser dock. Easy to use, and always do a greate job. Very good quality also. Its only one thing i didnt like. The eraser dock couldnt handle WD VelociRaptor hard-drive ? The eraser dock become dangerous hot, and couldnt finish the eraser job with WD Velociraptor disks. But the Eraser dock works fine on all other disks. Another thing ... The price is to expensive for many customer. This item could sell much more if the price was lower. I almost canseled my order because of the expensive price, not because of the quality of the product. I hope more people could afford to buy this greate product, and experiance the eraser dock tool on their hard-drives. Blessings from Tony - Norway

This is a pretty compact little unit that you can simply plug several types of hard drives into to wipe them. It is completely standalone so you can plug it in anywhere and just let it run. You can also attach it thru USB to a computer if you want to review what is on the drive. The device has built in menus where you can choose a variety of wiping techniques. The only thing I wish it had was a way to wipe USB drives or storage.
