Hi there, my Synology recently started to report a warning on one of my HDDs. I have replaced said drive now but am left with a HDD that I want to dispose of cleanly. Does anyone know if there is a Synology feature that allows you to srub the HDD before you remove it. Beyond physical destruction it would be great if there was a “Srub HDD” feature you could run before deactivation and removal.
I don’t know of anything directly on the Synology (although I haven’t looked so maybe there is), but I use ShredOS which is an open source OS that is designed to securely erase drives. It can be booted and run from a USB drive. So you just need some way of connecting the drive to be erased to a computer.
