I am zeroing out some old drive - some may not have secure erase. If I issue the command:

hpparm --security-erase-enhanced

Against a drive that does not have this feature, will it error? Man does not tell me.

    Ah well, I switched to a USB3 drive toaster I borrowed. This works much faster. I just did a 3TB drive basically overnight. Not as fast as secure erase but fast enough.
