How to securely wipe your ReadyNAS
Hi there, Since I saw a lot of people here on the forum asking the same question; how can I securely erase, delete, wipe my hard disk before selling, RMA etc and all the suggestions led to one gene...
I think you're right. http://www.readynas.com/?cat=19 lists it for RAIDiator 4.2.7 and then says RAIDar 4.1.7 is also needed. I saw the 4.1.7 and jumped to the wrong conclusion.

You might be meaning RAIDar 4.1.7 or later is needed? Or something like that?
BTW, you can also just use the vendor diagnostic tools to write 0s to the drive. Though not as good as random writes, I think the security risk is extremely low.
