Looking for help or advice on building a device/devices that can erase multiple SATA, SAS, USB, etc. devices at the same time. Looking to build or create a system that can run Blancco or Kill Disk to securely erase multiple HDDs at a time. Something similar to the attached image apart from this costs £3k so something slightly more budget-friendly. Any help is much appreciated.

g’day and welcome to the forums.
how many disks at a time are you thinking?
because if it’s only 5 or so, why not get a few of these - https://www.umart.com.au/product/sta...one-dock-48154 -

that ICY box link, those sort of units are NAS (network attached storage) devices, used for backups, media libraries, etc.
each drive can be its own storage medium, or you can ‘join’ varies drives into a RAID, or shared volume, drive.
I think you’ll still be up for addressing each drive manually as far as erasing goes.
and what sort of erase do you want - a quick format, low-level format, or some sort of military grade, random bits written to the drive several times?
what will the drives then be purposed for?
if you’re thinking 24’ish at a time, and 2.5" and 3.5" sizes, then some sort of dedicated, built for purpose, device will be the way to go.
if this function effects your productivity, than the initial outlay will pay for itself soon enough.Comment
