4.3.2. Erasing Settings

Use the Erasing Settings to add information to various options. Access the list of a variety of options present on the screen below:

1. Erasure Method - Select an erasure algorithm from the drop-down list. The application will use the selected algorithm to erase the drive.

Note: Refer to Erasure Algorithms to know the purpose of each algorithm.

2. Verification - Choose a verification method from the drop-down list. 

Note: Refer to Verification Methods  to know the purpose of each method.

3. Auto Select Drive to Erase - This field is checked by default. Checking this field automatically selects all the connected drives for the erasure process in the BitRaser application.

4. Auto Erase - Check this field to automatically start erasing the connected drives after the BitRaser application connects to the internet.

5. Freeze Erasure Method & Verification - Check this field if you want to freeze the erasure and verification methods. Freezing will prevent changes to these methods in the application at a later stage.

6. Shutdown Machine After Erasure -  Check this field to shut down the machine after the erasure process completes.

7. Sync Report on Cloud During Erasure Process - On checking this field, the report will be updated at each percent of the erasure process.
