Yes, a factory reset will wipe the disks.
If you want to do a secure erase you can hook the drives up to a PC and use tools do that. The Ultimate Boot CD for instance includes some free tools such as Darik's Boot and Nuke to do this.
Unless you have a legal requirement to do a secure erase that shouldn't be necessary. The factory reset will be sufficient.
