Paragraph Number

250

The secure erase command directs the storage device 150 to overwrite existing data so that the existing data is non-recoverable. The storage device 150 then creates the data segment token as well as overwrites, recovers, erases, etc. the existing data. As a result, the existing data is non-recoverable and the data segment token is stored on the storage device 150, which typically takes much less storage space than the existing data.
