Why wipe the hard disk prior to cloning, the existing data will be overwritten with the new job?
It is vital to ensure that hard drives used for cloning contain no previously recovered data. For example, you may only have a partial image of a job, and run recovery software to get as much data as possible. If the previous job has not been completely removed from the hard disk, then there is a possibility of sending a customer the wrong data. This would be a disaster, especially so if the second company is a competitor of the other previous recovery job. In order to minimize the risk of this happening, data recovery companies prepare their image drives prior to imaging. Our software can prepare as many drives as you need in a single pass provided you can connect them to a computer, it will wipe them. You can also select the character to overwrite the drive with, e.g. 00h – FFh or you can choose text to overwrite e.g. -UNPROCESSED- or WIPED, etc. Supported Drives • ATA/PATA/IDE Hard Disks • SATA/eSATA Hard Disks • SCSI Hard Disks • SAS Hard Disks • USB Hard Disks • Firewire Hard Disk
