Drive Eraser 6.17.0 and Configuration Tool 2.17.0 - Release notes
Features:
ALBUS-7565 - Support for NVMe hotswap ALBUS-7590, ALBUST-728 - Support for VLAN networks ALBUS-6650 - Support for TCG Crypto Erasure on NVMes ALBUS-5068 - Support for Sanitize commands on NVMes ALBUS-7854, ALBUST-727 - 802.1x credentials can be preconfigured ALBUS-7872, ALBUST-723 - Battery tests improvements to comply with e-Stewards 2020 guidelines
Bug fixes & Improvements:
ALBUS-7629 - The generation of Intel processors is detected and reported in the XML report. ALBUS-7652 - The "Battery" test has been renamed "Battery Capacity" test. ALBUS-7644 - The "Cryptographic Erasure" standard has been renamed "Sanitize Cryptographic Erasure". ALBUS-8087 - The "Spin Down Idle Disks" settng has been disabled by default. ALBUS-7782, ALBUS-7783 - In addition to beeing able to preconfigure 802.1x credentials, BDE also supports domains. ALBUS-7364, ALBUS-7984 - The "Health" information on SCSI/SAS drives has been removed from the report. ALBUS-7859, ALBUS-7875, ALBUS-7786 - The standards "NIST 800-88 Purge" or "Blancco SSD Erasure" got stuck during the erasure. ALBUS-7903 - The standard "NIST 800-88 Purge" failed on some drives with the message "Cryptographic erasure has failed". ALBUS-7966 - The Format Unit command could get interrupted on large SAS drives (8+ TB), leaving the drive non-functional. ALBUS-7965 - With some drives, BDE stopped responding when more than one SSD was erased. ALBUS-7624 - The Display Resolution was not detected if the chassis type was "Convertible". ALBUS-7425 - Booting on Dell Latitude 7390 was not possible. ALBUS-7882 - Booting on MacBook Pro 11,1 with i7-5557U was not possible. ALBUS-7639 - There were some issues with the Fingerprint report. ALBUS-8018 - Badly formed battery values failed the report sending. ALBUS-7862, ALBUS-7358, ALBUS-7826, ALBUS-7897, ALBUS-8001, ALBUS-7926 - Booting on several machines was not possible. The machines include: AMD Ryzen 5 5500U, AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 4750U, Samsung Galaxy Book S Intel NP767XCM, Lenovo L15 Gen 1, HP Omen Notebook, MacBookPro11,4, Razer Blade Pro 17, Razer Blade 15, Razer Book 13. ALBUS-7686, ALBUS-7687 - Fixing issues with logical volumes. ALBUS-7458, ALBUS-7658, ALBUS-7671 - Fixing issues with eMMCs. ALBUS-7448, ALBUS-7449 - Several improvements on SMART attributes detection. ALBUS-7931 - Improving the reporting of read errors. ALBUS-7483 - Improving the NVMe progress of purge commands in the UI. ALBUS-7955 - Improving the detection of Sanitize commands on drives. ALBUS-7285 - Improving the support of hardware components on Microsoft Surface machines, especially keyboard, trackpad and WiFi. ALBUS-8033 - NVMe hotswap implemented under ALBUS-7565. ALBUS-8083 - Adding Seagate,ST2000LX001 and ST1000LX015 drives into the hybrid drives database. ALBUS-7491 - Fixing internal issues occurring on E2400 where the appliance restarted in Manual mode. ALBUS-7514 - Hardware appliances: there was a small "hand icon" visible in the user interface.
