Description

StarTech SATERASER4 4-Bay Standalone Hard Drive Eraser

Overview

The StarTech SATERASER4 is a standalone hardware drive eraser designed for securely wiping data from up to four 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SATA hard drives and solid-state drives simultaneously. This unit is critical for IT asset disposition, data sanitization compliance, and preparing drives for resale or disposal in environments handling sensitive data, such as surveillance operations or enterprise IT departments. Its standalone operation means no computer is required for the wiping process, simplifying deployment.

Compatibility

This drive eraser supports all 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch SATA I, II, and III drives. It is compatible with standard SATA data and power connectors found on virtually all modern HDDs and SSDs. The host connection is USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gbps), allowing for efficient data transfer to a connected computer for logging or verification if needed. A DB9 serial port is also included for integration with industrial logging systems.

Installation Notes

The unit operates on standard 100-240V AC power, drawing up to 1.2A and delivering 12V DC at 7A (84W total) via the included AC adapter. Operating temperature range is 5°C to 45°C (41°F to 113°F), with storage temperatures from -20°C to 85°C (-4°F to 185°F). Humidity should be kept between 20% and 80% non-condensing.
