1.3 Instant Secure Erase / Secure Erase
1.3 Instant Secure Erase / Secure Erase
This section provides conceptual information and instructions for using the Instant Secure Erase (ISE) or
Secure Erase (SE) features included with Western Digital drives.
Data Erasure Options
Western Digital provides several options for securely erasing data from its drives. The appropriate method
depends upon many factors, including the following:
•Erase Configuration (ISE or SE)
•Drive Type (HDD or SSD)
•Interface Type (SAS, SATA, or NVMe™ )
•Encryption (none, TCG, or FIPS)
For more information on the sanitize command for specific drive models, please see the drive model's
specification, contact Western Digital technical support, or download the following whitepaper for details:
https://documents.westerndigital.com/content/dam/doc-library/en_us/assets/public/western-digital/
collateral/tech-brief/tech-brief-instant-secure-erase....
ISE / SE Overview
Instant Secure Erase (ISE) is Western Digital’s implementation of the industry standard T10 (SAS)/T13
(SATA) sanitize command, allowing users to instantly erase both user-accessible data and hidden user
data from Western Digital drives.
The sanitize command supports three options:
1. Crypto Scramble (SATA) / Crypto Erase (SAS): deletes the encryption key of a self-encrypting drive.
2. Overwrite (HDDs): overwrites the data on the drive with a supplied value.
3. Block Erase (SSDs): electrically erases each storage element by modifying their voltage levels.
Secure Erase (SE) is a subset of ISE, where the Crypto Scramble / Erase option has been disabled, allowing
only the Overwrite or Block Erase options.
Requirements
To perform secure deletion, the following versions are the minimal recommended/supported utilities for
each drive interface required on the host. For other versions, please verify the arguments/parameters in the
appropriate man pages.
•SAS: sg_sanitize version 1.00 20151219 (included in sg3_utils 1.422)
•SATA: hdparm version 9.58
Erase Methods
The following methods cover all erasure options and storage technologies for Western Digital drives.
For more information on the sanitize command for specific drive models, please see the drive model's
specification.
Note: If a RAID adapter or software is in use, remove the drives from a RAID set before erasure.

1.4 OpenFlex ™ Data24 Disassembly
Note: If a drive is encrypted (TCG or FIPS), unlock the drive before executing any sanitize
commands.
Note: In the following commands, replace the generic reference of <dev> with the specific
device reference appropriate for your operating system (i.e. sgX for Linux, SCSIX:X,X,X for
Windows).
NVMe
•NVMe - Crypto Erase - SSD:
# sudo nvme sanitize /dev/<nvme_namespace> -a 4
•NVMe - Block Erase - SSD:
# sudo nvme sanitize /dev/<nvme_namespace> -a 2
Important: For more information related to NVMe Sanitize, see the current version of the NVM
Express® NVM Command Set Specification at https://nvmexpress.org/developers/nvme-
command-set-specifications/.
1.4 OpenFlex™ Data24 Disassembly
This procedure provides instructions for disassembling an OpenFlex™ Data24.
Table 3: Replacement Procedure Info
Required Tools # of People Required
•T7 Torx screwdriver
•T8 Torx screwdriver
•T10 Torx screwdriver
•Tweezers or needle-nose pliers
(recommended)
•2 for removal of the Chassis from the rack
•1 for the disassembly of the Chassis
Step 1 :Power down the system by shutting down the system from the operating system.
Step 2 : (Optional) If your configuration contains a CMA, carefully move the arm on the side in need of
servicing away from the system. This will allow for ease of access to the components on the
chosen side while keeping the system cabling organized and safe.
