Your situation can be different from mine, but I do think if you want, you can install windows on it after the windows installation does the format disk.

The Dashboard manual conflicts with the current WD Dashboard 2.5.0.0 when it comes to secure erase, sanitize, and format, and the UsB created in Dashboard freezes when loaded in bios as it loads to the first screen.Īnyway, that is my situation regarding wiping the WD Black, which Dashboard calls WD Black SN700. I expect WD will have to further develop Dashboard, particularly the USB create function so that our WD Black can be secure erase, sanitized and formatted. Dashboard recognizes all three drives, but notes that the WD Black cannot be securely erased or sanitized, but can be reformatted using the USB created in Dashboard. The Dashboard offers options such as Secure Erase and Sanitize but I have no idea what these mean and the manual doesn’t throw much light. I installed the WD Black drive with the WDBlack 750 having the windows OS on it. The Sanitize function worked well on the Blue drive I have installed using Dashboard. My issue is that the WD Dashboard proclaims to have the secure erase function and sanitize function. No solution for me, but you and I can always install the drive and when windows installation process begins, you have the option to format the drive at the very beginning of the installation process. The Western Digital and SanDisk SSD Dashboard applications are potentially vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks when the applications download resources from the Dashboard web service. I have spoken with WD tech about the problem. Secure Erase and Sanitize both securely erase all user data and reset the SSD to out of box performance. Now I too want to wipe it so I can use it on another machine.

It works fine, but I replaced it with a WDBlack SN750.
