ALBUS-5451, ALBUS-5178, ALBUS-5453 - Fix for a problem where the erasure on some USB external drives (e.g. several Toshiba models -MQ04UBF100, MQ01UBD100, MQ03UBB300-, Western Digital "My Passport", Samsung "Portable SSD T3/T5", Micron SSD P400m200-MTFDDAK200MAN) generated one (1) error when reaching ~137GB. This error failed the overall erasure.
ALBUS-5418 - Fix for a problem where some HDDs (e.g. WD 4TB "My Passport Portable Hard Drive" WD40NMZW) were detected as SSDs.
Known issues:
ALBUS-5411 - Overwriting fails consistently on large SCSI/SAS drives (more than 2TB) behind some HP Smart Array controllers (e.g. P410).
The issue occurs with erasure standards writing static patterns, it requires a specific combination (HP RAID controller and new kernel/HPSA driver).
This issue is under investigation. In the meantime, you can try using the erasure standard "Aperiodic random overwrite" with 100% verification.
Blancco Drive Eraser version 6.2.5 has been released!
