ERASE TIMES
The time required to erase the SSD varies according to the total capacity of the drive. The Erase utility
will erase every physical memory storage location that can be accessed by the host interface. It will
also destroy any saved messages. Once initiated, the SSD will be offline and the host will be unable
to access the drive. Once the erase operation is completed the SSD will be restarted. If power ceases
during an erase operation, the operation will be restarted when power is restored. See Table 2.

SANITIZE
For sensitive data that requires more stringent security measures, the SSD is designed to comply
with industry-standard data protection methods. The SSD will support the sanitize standards as
detailed in DoD 5220.22-M, AFSSI 5020 and NSA 130-2. The Sanitize feature will erase every
physical memory storage location and then will write data patterns to all possible NAND locations that
are accessible to the host system. It will also destroy any saved messages. The time required to
sanitize a SSD varies according to the drive capacity and the sanitize type. Each sanitize type
requires different levels of erase/write cycles. If power is lost during this operation, the operation will
be restarted when power is restored. See Table 3.
