Erasing a disk using SED Erase

SED Erase erases all of the data on a locked or unlocked SED disk and removes the encryption password.

Note:

If the disk is the only disk in use on the NAS, you must create another storage pool before you can erase the disk.

Go to Storage & Snapshots > Storage > Disks/VJBOD > Disks.
Select a SED disk.
Click Actions, and then select SED Erase.

The SED Erase window opens.
Enter the disk's Physical Security ID (PSID).

Tip:
The PSID can usually be found on the disk label.

If you cannot find the PSID, contact the disk manufacturer.
Click Apply.

The system erases all data on the SED.
