I believe New Era has a product that you may use, lease for not too much money that will do the trick. We did three writes across everything with different patterns when we collapsed one a couple of years ago, old DOD standards.
That is the basic deed, three write patterns to erase, cover the old data. Hope that helps kinda.

I have a DS8100 that we are decommissioning and using as a trade-in. We need to make sure that all the data on this system is erased before we ship it off. Do any of you have any thoughts on how to accomplish this at little or no expense? Has anyone already dealt with this issue? Thanks!
