How long does WIPERAPP take to wipe a drive?

The time required to wipe a drive using WIPERAPP depends on several factors, including the number of passes, verification size, and the drive’s capacity. Estimated wipe times:

  • 500GB HDD: Approximately 2 hours
  • 500GB NVMe/SSD: Approximately 5 minutes

WIPERAPP ensures permanent, unrecoverable data deletion, complying with NIST security standards and EAL 4+ (Evaluation Assurance Level) code quality. It also supports Hot Swap technology, enabling multiple drives to be wiped without restarting the application.
