ATW Erase · Data erasure

ATW Erase

ATW Erase is a local-first sanitization workstation for HDD, SSD SATA and NVMe media, built so that safe behavior is the default and every job leaves evidence.

Illustrative screen with sample data.

What ATW Erase does

Secure data erasure and device preparation.

Media

HDD, SSD SATA and NVMe

Media-aware methods for each drive type, following a conservative policy based on NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2.

Safe by default

Dry-run first

Live execution requires explicit guardrails, an allowlist and confirmation, and the system disk is blocked.

Evidence

Local evidence

Jobs and evidence are kept locally, and stay authoritative even if publishing is pending.

Separation

Clear job stages

Sanitization, verification, final disposition and publish status are tracked as separate concerns.

Publish

Queue to ATW Core

Reports go to ATW Core through a queue with retry, requeue and single-report recovery.

Workstation

Operator interface and local API

A desktop operator interface backed by a local API, checked by a built-in preflight.

Part of one device lifecycle

Diagnose, erase and manage, with one family of software from Anderson Technology Works.
