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.

    Ok My drive does not have the feature - and took the hdparm --security-erase-enhanced without any error. I guess I will use dd then.
