What Atola Disk Recycler is

Atola Disk Recycler is a scriptable tester, wiper, and repair system for professional hard disk recycling. Its wiping choices include DoD 5220.22-M, NIST 800-88, Security Erase, zero patterns, and custom patterns. Testing covers surface scans, S.M.A.R.T., checksum calculation, seek tests, transfer rates, and pattern comparison. Four-port units support SATA drives, while SAS drives require the SAS model. A network can include up to 200 units, allowing one software instance to control as many as 800 ports. The listed maximum transfer speed is 470 MB/s (28 GB/min) per port. Windows control software runs on a separate PC, and each unit can operate independently from a script on a USB flash stick. The Script Editor includes help, syntax checking, highlighting, and sample scripts. Script runs produce CSV-exportable reports. Ports are isolated and power is disabled when a short circuit is detected. Pricing is available on request.
