'Secure erase' does come with certain varieties in that (when available) you can select to
write '1' to every bit
write '0' to every bit
write alternate '1' and '0' to every bit
plus select the number of passes to be made.
The point is it is going to write to every bit - and that can be long and tedious. I don't know what TM have chosen as method. I tend to do secure erase off the main machine. I have a hot swap caddy on one of my desktops. I also use 3rd party software to do that.
I suspect 'wipe' may be quicker (but 'less secure') although I am not cetain which versions of TOS that is available on. It's a fairly recent option in TOS.
