StarTech.com Single Bay Hard Drive Eraser, Standalone HDD/SSD Sanitizer, 4Kn, USB 3.0 to SATA III (6 Gbps), 9 Erase Modes, LCD Display, DB-9 Printer Port, TAA Compliant (SDOCK1EU3P2)

Another great StarTech product. Numerous erasure options for both SSD and HDD drives which are specific to drive type. Extremely easy to select erasure type using inbuilt display then start erasure process without need for linking to a PC. At £25 to £60 to have disks securely erased, purchase cost is recovered extremly quickly.

Found this when my old hard drive eraser decided to give up the ghost. Works at the same speed (around 4 hours for a 500GB drive on HMG-IS5). I've done around 30 drives now, all sanitised without a problem. Checked using a software recovery tool and cant get a thing back after a 36 hour deep scan, so works brilliantly.

Difficult to set up a printer - no support from Startech. User manual is verey limited and isnt informative when explaining the different modes.

I've been testing this unit rigorously for about a week. After running about 50 drives through this thing during the past few weeks, I can say that it is worth the money to anyone that has to securely and verifiably erase a large volume of drives. After considering bulkier standalone duplicator / eraser units, as well as software only solutions, I decided on this dock / eraser. I can erase drives without having to have my workstation dedicated to the task as well as use the dock for traditional USB access. I do have a receipt printer connected to this unit and it works flawlessly. Upon a successful wipe of any kind, a receipt is printed detailing the drive model, serial number, capacity, the erase type, and the start and finish times of the wipe. This information is also stored in a log on the eraser dock itself and may be retrieved / reprinted at any time. The wipe receipt even includes a signature line. If you decide to use this dock with a receipt printer, be sure that it's a serial printer (9600 baud, etc) similar to the old Epson POS printers. All things considered, this was a slam dunk of a purchase and I couldn't be happier.

Beim ersten Gerät war das Display defekt. Der Lieferant hat das anstandslos umgetauscht. Daher empfehlenswert, für den Defekt kann auch der Lieferant nichts.

My StarTech eraser arrived well packaged; "the construction build is outstanding" and menu selection is more than sufficient to do the job. I even used recovery method's in attempt to recover information from the drive after it was sanitized and failed. The unit lived up to it's name and passed with flying colors, I highly recommend this item when it comes to sensitive information removal.

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
