I have a LS220D / 8 GB system and decided to try to reset the box to default and inadvertently selected the Erase option instead of the Reset (assuming it would do both). The system has now started four passes of overwriting data. I get that it's security erasing, but should it really take 54 hours to make four passes over 8TB? Seems like excessively slow performance (which I was trying to correct with the reset).
Has anyone else run the four pass 1s and 0s on a drive? What was your experience?
Thanks,
Tom
