sudo time hdparm --user-master u --security-erase mypassword /dev/sda


I get this error-message



/dev/sda:

  • Does the drive support that oepration? hdparm -I /dev/sda |grep -A 8 Security ... and it might be good to list the model and firmware in the question... hdparm -I /dev/sda |grep -E "Model|Firmware"
