This type of format can also be called a secure erase, zeroing the drive, or flushing the drive.</P><P></P><P><B>Note</B>: Any links provided for third party tools or sites are offered for your convenience and should not be viewed as an endorsement by Intel® of the content, products, or services offered there.
