Question

You just upgraded five computers with new, larger, hard drives. Now you would like to securely repurpose the old hard drives so that they could be reused as needed. What action should you take to prepare the drives for later use?

Answer 1

Given what we know, we can confirm that after completing the successful upgrade of the computer hard drives, in order to repurpose the old drives to be reused we must first perform a drive wipe on each of them.

What is a drive wipe?

• A drive wipe is used to erase the existing data on a drive.
• A used drive contains data from its previous user that is no longer required.
• This older data will consume memory allocation space on the drive.
• A drive wipe is used to erase this data and allow access to the original memory amount.
• This can be considered as returning the drive to its unused state.

Therefore, given that the hard drives were in use, we can expect them to contain information and data pertaining to the previous user and their work. In order to prepare the drives to be reused, we perform a drive wipe, which formats them back to their original state and allows access to the full memory amount.
