Are you fully zeroing out the drive or just deleting partitions?  I zeroed a 6TB drive Seagate Ironwolf recently and took about 13 hours.

When there is no danger of failure there is no pleasure in success.

That depends the clean command is about instantaneous. If you run format fs=<FS> you'll be waiting several plus hours. If you run format fs=<FS> quick it should be a couple of minutes if that.
