PIWIPE P8 data erasure appliance

PIWIPE P8 — Data Erasure Appliance

A desktop station that erases eight drives at once, with no workstation attached

PIWIPE P8 is a desktop sanitization station that runs on its own, without being attached to a computer. The standard configuration erases eight drives at once; four- and ten-bay versions are built to order.

It is made for ITADs and in-house IT teams processing dozens of drives a day: it does not tie up a workstation, and every drive leaves with its own certificate.

PIWIPE P8: eight-bay desktop data erasure station
GDPR, NIST SP 800-88 Rev.2, IEEE 2883-2022 and KVKK 6698 compliant

8 drives in parallel · A certificate per drive

Specifications

  • Bays

    8 as standard; 4- and 10-bay versions are built to order.

  • Interfaces

    SATA HDD/SSD, SAS, eSATA, USB, iSCSI, M.2 SATA, M.2 NVMe and mSATA.

  • Standalone

    Erasure runs on the appliance itself and needs no separate computer.

  • Software

    Runs the PIWIPE USB edition and shares the credit pool with PIWIPE software.

  • Standards

    16 standards including NIST SP 800-88, DoD 5220.22-M and IEEE 2883-2022, plus ATA Sanitize and NVMe Format.

  • Warranty

    2-year hardware warranty.

Speed and throughput

Hardware methods such as ATA Sanitize or NVMe Format finish within minutes, while multi-pass overwrite standards can take hours on large drives. Because the eight bays run in parallel, total time approaches the time for a single drive. We can measure this against your own drive mix.

Per-drive progress and speed during parallel erasure
Pass, speed and remaining time are tracked separately for each drive.

Verification and certificates

Each drive's S.M.A.R.T. data is read and written onto its certificate, hidden areas (HPA) are detected and removed, and the result is verified after the wipe. If verification fails, the job is marked failed and no credit is spent.

Each drive receives a destruction certificate with a QR code, a SHA-256 digest and a unique serial number. Certificates can be white-labelled with your own brand and records exported as CSV, for use in GDPR, KVKK and HIPAA processes.

Who uses it

  • ITAD companiesProcess an incoming pile of devices at one station and produce a separate document for every drive.
  • In-house IT teamsDocumented erasure for hand-overs, end-of-lease returns and scrapping.
  • Data centresSanitize drives quickly during bulk replacement cycles.
  • Service providersHand their own customers a white-labelled certificate.

Getting one

The appliance can be supplied with a subscription plan or purchased outright. Current terms and a video are at piwipe.com/piwipe-p8. If you would rather hand the work over, our secure data erasure service runs on the same equipment.
