Hot swap software

[TheGermanEngie]

I'm creating a machine used to hot swap laptop drives and wipe them. Currently the software I use to wipe drives is DBAN, only problem is DBAN doesn't appear to support hot swapping, I have to let them all finish until I can restart the program. The problem is some finish before the rest wasting valuable time. Does any of you guys know of a software that supports it?

A lot of motherboards have it as an option in the storage section of the BIOS.  Have you checked there?

What type of wipe do you want to do? You can write a pretty simple script to use dd for this.

A quick wipe to redeploy drives, not hiding corporate secrets or anything like that. I don't know how to write a script, and my organization needs to use DBAN or something of the like. Software, preferrably bootable off a USB stick.

If your redeploying the drives you don't need to wipe at all, just do a reformat and your good. zeroing all the secorts won't help you here at all.
