6.2 ATA Secure Erase
ATA Secure Erase is an ATA disk purging command currently embedded in most of the storage drives.
Defined in ATA specifications, (ATA) Secure Erase is part of Security Feature Set that allows storage
drives to erase all user data areas. The erase process usually runs on the firmware level as most of the
ATA-based storage media currently in the market are built-in with this command. ATA Secure Erase can
securely wipe out the user data in the drive and protects it from malicious attack.
