DriveErase Environments, Security, and Support

This section covers deployment conditions that affect device visibility and sanitization scope, including Windows Server, virtual machines, USB storage, RAID controllers, HBAs, bridges, and active system disks. It also provides troubleshooting and support-preparation procedures.

When a device or controller prevents the required assurance from being established, preserve the result and move the asset to an approved alternate process rather than weakening the final claim.
