Yeah that's my biggest problem. This company has in their contract that all drives have to be a min of DOD wiped before they can leave their vault. That's the slow down. Was hoping someone had experience converting a server into a multi wiped so we could just slam them in 6 at a time. I'm still playing with it. I might have it figured out. Just need a faster way to DOD wipe, but I know I'm limited to the speed of the drive its self

I run a non-profit where we take in old systems and refurbish them for students of families that can't afford a computer. We have a donor who gave us a ton of systems all P4 or better but they can't release all the hard drives they have till they have all been securely wipes. Most all are from banks. I need a way to pipe them several at a time. They had an old server. An old dual processor PIII 800mhz that holds 6 drives. I was thinking of a way to turn it into a multi drive wiper. use maybe DSL, Damn Small Linux as the OS to run a multi drive secure wipe DOD protocol wiper. Am I going down the right track or it there an easier way? Is there a better way to use this old server to wipe six at a time??
