Just like when it gets stuck doing a rebuild, I wanted to see what it was up to. …and the outcome? Well I clicked it, confirmed it, and watched as the red light came on and the drives started to chug. The disk erase process overwrites all disks with random data to prevent recovery of existing or deleted data, users, and passwords. Disk erase is a secure operation to ensure all data on your Iomega StorCenter device is irrecoverably deleted. For those of you who don’t know me – here is the setup.Īll data is permanently erased and overwritten to prevent recovery, user information is removed, and the device is reset to factory defaults. The second message talks about how securely erased your drives will be. The first message tells you that you’ll need to delete all the shares ( including the built in ones?!) before using the wipe functionality. I go into the manage disk section and I’m excited to see there is an Erase Disks section under Manage Disks. The replacement WD Green and the old original 500GB Seagate spin up and after a few minutes I can login via the web interface. ( more on that later) I was doing some consolidation and cleaning of the computer room yesterday and I decided it was time to wipe some hard drives including the ix2 NAS. The second drive failed and it has been replaced with a Synology DiskStation DS212j with WD Red drives.

Disappointing finish for my Iomega StorCenter ix2.
