See full text

A system for a storage device to indicate that the storage device is to be overwritten to delete the data and files contained on it including remnants of previously deleted files. The system may comprise a jumper pin adapter dedicated to the purpose of overwriting the storage device. Power for the storage device can be provided by a special power adapter and the overwrite procedure can be performed as part of the storage device's power on self test so that the computer containing the storage device does not need to be booted into an operating system in order to perform the overwrite procedure.
