When enabled, the duplicator will run an Erase (Quick, Raw, or Secure) on Target devices before copying. Normally the duplicator would simply overwrite the existing data.
Off | Read Error Skip is disabled. If the duplicator encounters an issue where the USB in the Source port is unable to be properly read then an error will appear. Note: This is the default setting. |
Quick | The fastest erase method. The Quick Erase will erase only the partition table, which will make the device appear empty. |
Raw | Raw Erase will perform the same function as a Full Erase in the sense of writing zeros all active sectors on the drive. The drive partition will additionally be converted to the RAW state after performing the copy. |
Secure | Secure Erase uses a three-pass wipe method to thoroughly erase any data on your device and prevents the data from being recoverable. Note: Due to wear leveling technology utilized by most flash memory devices, flash drives may not be securely wiped. Secure Erase should only be run on external HDDs. |
