Seagate Instant Secure Erase Deployment Options Technology Paper

2022-10-09
● When hard drives are retired and transported outside the data center and into the hands of others, the data on those drives is put at signifcant risk. Nevertheless, IT departments still must routinely remove and dispose of drives for a variety of reasons, including:
■ Repurposing drives for other storage duties
■ Returning drives for warranty, repair or expired lease agreements
● Nearly all hard drives are put out of their owners’ control when the drives are eventually removed from the data center; in fact, Seagate estimates that 50,000 drives are retired from data centers daily. Corporate and personal data resides on such drives, and when they do leave the data center, the data they contain is still readable. Even data that has been striped across many drives in a storage system confgured with RAID data protection is vulnerable because a single stripe in today’s high-capacity arrays is large enough to store hundreds of names, social security numbers, and other personal and highly-sensitive data.
