## Long description

The StarTech SATERASER4 is a standalone four-bay disk drive eraser for securely sanitizing data on 2.5 in. and 3.5 in. SATA SSDs and HDDs. It supports simultaneous erasing of up to four drives without a host computer, reducing setup time and minimizing exposure to external security risks. The unit is compact and portable, and includes USB 3.0 connectivity and an RS-232 port for printer connectivity and logging.
Advantages
The SATERASER4 erases up to four SATA drives at once without requiring a connected PC, streamlining batch erasure workflows. It offers nine industry-recognized erase modes, including Quick Erase, Single- and Multi-pass Overwrites, Custom Erase, NIST 800-88 Rev.1 compliant Secure Erase and Enhanced Secure Erase, and DoD 5220.22-M compliant multi-pass procedures. A built-in LCD, push-button controls and USB 3.0 support simplify operation and speed data transfer, while the RS-232 port allows on-demand erase log printing for audit trails. The device is TAA compliant and covered by a two-year warranty with lifetime technical support.

How to use
Install up to four 2.5 in. or 3.5 in. SATA drives into the bays and power on the unit.

Optionally connect the unit to a computer to access the drive attached to port-1 or connect an RS-232 serial printer to print erase logs during or after the job.

Choose the erase mode appropriate to your security and compliance needs: Quick Erase for non-sensitive reuse, Single-pass Overwrite for standard redeployment, and Multi-pass Overwrite or NIST/Enhanced Secure Erase for regulated or highly sensitive data. Maintain printed logs via the RS-232 port for audit records and verify adapter compatibility when erasing IDE, mSATA or M.2 drives.
