| 14:18:49 | <spirit> | Anyone know how to issue a Enhanced Security Erase to a WD SMR drive which is connected externally via USB on Linux (or what ever else can make it wiped and fast again)? Not looking for someone to google, but maybe someone did do to themselves somehow and can share their experience |
| 14:19:06 | <spirit> | Apparently the WD software (windows + mac) does something but it wont work with wine |
| 14:19:38 | <TheTechRobo> | can you temporarily install Windows with virtualbox then? I think most virtualisation softwares have a USB passthrough |
| 14:24:42 | <spirit> | oh wow, let me try |
| 14:34:15 | <spirit> | the disk does not show as addable in VB on the host, in fact no device does |
| 14:35:06 | <spirit> | vboxusers group missing, oops |

| 14:46:44 | <spirit> | switching to virtualbox-ext-oracle was next, to get proper USB support |
| 14:51:23 | <spirit> | setting encryption worked so far |
| 14:52:09 | <spirit> | removing it too |
| 14:52:14 | <spirit> | let me try if that really did it |
| 14:55:29 | | spirit quits [Client Quit] |
| 15:27:39 | <h3ndr1k> | I did Secure Erase with multiple SSDs. Try "hdparm -I" iirc. (Uppercase i) Or just google hdparm ata secure erase. There is a nice wiki entry on I think kernel.org. |
| 17:12:25 | <systwi> | Not sure how "enhanced" that really is, but DBAN (dban.org), or similarly the `nwipe' package (accessible via your favourite package manager) is commonly used in the enterprise (for disks they wish to keep). |
| 17:14:16 | <systwi> | IMHO I don't trust any proprietary software, especially when it comes to data sanitisation and encryption. |
| 18:13:20 | <@JAA> | Definitely curious about the 'make it fast again' part for SMR disks. I heard claims about writing NUL bytes resetting it but never verified that. I'd probably search on /r/DataHoarder. |
| 18:31:35 | <systwi> | Hmm, me too. Maybe it's just clever wording/marketing hype, i.e. "free your disk space and therefore your computer will be faster!" |
| 18:34:32 | <@JAA> | The average user will have no idea what NUL bytes even are, so I doubt that. |
| 18:38:00 | <systwi> | I meant regarding WD's "Enhanced Security Erase," which I assume to be some type of software. |
| 18:39:26 | <@JAA> | Ah, yeah, just pattern writing baked into the firmware I believe. |
| 18:40:04 | <@JAA> | Unrelated to SMR, but I guess it might have the side effect of clearing the drive's memory about which sectors are occupied. |
