How to completely wipe External USB-->SATA hard disk

[jaynyc]

Hi. Using Windows 7 64bit. I have a stack of 9 SATA hard drives I need to completely and irreversibly wipe. I have an external USB-->SATA interface to connect each drive.

What are the correct settings in Eraser 6.0.9 to do this? When I create a task, it is not entirely obvious how to achieve a secure wipe of the entire disk.

I've read the 23 page PDF and I cannot find a section that explicitly deals with wiping an entire disk.

Thank you

* PS. I obviously do not want to wipe my Windows 7 system drive

The recommended approach for 6.0 is to quick format the drive in question, then run an unused space erase on it.

6.2 (in beta) has a native non-system full drive erasure feature. If you intend to try that out (I do use it for my own drives) please be aware of the Beta build fine print.

How do I do a quick format of an external HD in a USB enclosure in Win 7 Pro?

Also, I do not see any beta (6.2) download available.
