  • Microsoft Surface Pro 1 is supported (since Blancco Driver Drive Eraser / Blancco 5.4.0). Blancco Driver Drive Eraser / Blancco 5 can boot, unlock and erase this tablet with the "Blancco SSD Erasure" standard.
  • Microsoft Surface Pro 2 is also supported. Blancco Driver Drive Eraser / Blancco 5 can boot, unlock and erase this tablet with the "Blancco SSD Erasure" standard.
  • Microsoft Surface Pro 3 is not fully supported. Blancco Driver Drive Eraser / Blancco 5 can boot on this tablet, unfortunately this tablet puts a freeze lock on the SSD, such lock cannot be removed and prevents any firmware-based erasure command from being executed (they always fail). Therefore the tablet cannot be erased with the "Blancco SSD Erasure" standard. Nevertheless, any standard that simply overwrites the SSD (e.g. “Aperiodic Random Overwrite”, HMG & DoD standards) will work on this device, providing at least a "clear-level" security (preventing keyboard-level attacks i.e. attempts to retrieve information using a data recovery software).
