Can WIPERAPP wipe multiple drives at once?

Yes, WIPERAPP supports wiping multiple drives at the same time, but the actual speed and number of drives depend on the local network setuphardware configuration, and bandwidth availability.

Network-Based Wiping

WIPERAPP enables simultaneous wiping across multiple devices using:

  • PXE Boot (LAN Cable): Allows mass wiping by booting clients over the network via multiple switches.
  • USB-C to RJ45 Connectors: Supports network-based wiping for systems lacking direct LAN connections.
  • WIPERAPP ISO (USB Boot): Can be used on multiple devices (laptops/PCs) by booting via individual USB drives.

For enterprise environments, WIPERBOX or WIPERAPP ISO on a virtual machine can facilitate wiping across an unlimited number of devices, but performance will be influenced by the network switchescontroller capacity, and bandwidth.

Direct Drive Connection

You can also connect multiple drives directly to a server or workstation, depending on the number of controllers supported. WIPERAPP’s Hot Swap technology enables seamless drive replacement without restarting the application, optimizing bulk erasure workflows.

For real-world demonstrations of simultaneous wiping, check out this video and the provided images.
