Updates for incoming hard drives. We are switching to a serialized adaptec secure erase software using a dedicated storage array for the job. We will NOT be using dban in the future. This process has been both approved for nist and is hippa compliant. We made this change at the request of our insurance provider. It also includes a two method controlled access to the equipment and 24 hour surveillance of the same. The server cabinet we have installed the system in has it's own alarm and is bolted to the floor. Likewise the system is OFF network, it is not accessible from the outside or internal networks. Drives awaiting destruction will now have their own secure secondary storage as well.
Lastly for today, DDR2 2gb memory prices have gone down. Sales have been nonexistant and we are probably going to close down 1gb ddr2 in a few weeks.
