So trying to use HP SmartStart as a means to determine drives to be good for recycle/reuse. After running through a batch of drives I'm trying to discover what is the most efficient way to format/erase the drives. I'm not trying to do a full body cleanse here or anything just enough that there isn't any readily accessible data upon initial use. I've noticed SmartStart doesn't really offer any formating options and I'd prefer to not have to create logical drives and boot to an OS to do it, these drives are all different specs.
I know when working with other servers initiating the drives in the controller normally formats them, however that (to my surprise) doesn't seem to take place in the HP system. When I create a logic drive no formatting takes place.
Any suggestions on a launcher, third party or otherwise, that can recognize the physical disks and carry out what I need?
