I seem to remember a number of the secure wipe utils allowing for custom patterns to be repeatedly written. Translator experiments?

For this you have to waste one PC3K Port (wasting for busy work load, U can use it for other Jobs) but for Victoria No need

It is my Thought. I don't have pc3k

I would just like to add another possible option to accomplish this. HDDSuperClone has a Fill Mark mode that will write the sector number. Normally it is meant for only filling non recovered areas, but if nothing has been recovered it would write to the whole drive. Without trying myself, the concept would be to setup for a recovery with the drive in question as the source, and the destination as null. You may need to do a connect and disconnect, and then save the progress log. Then close and reopen HDDSuperClone, choose the Fill Mark mode, and choose the drive as the destination. Also, I think I made it so that this can be stopped and resumed, although I don't fully remember. Here is the info for the mode from the user manual:

Mode-->Fill Mark – Fill all non-finished areas of the destination drive or image with a marking pattern, and then exit. Any area that is not marked as FINISHED will be filled. You must supply the progress log file, but the source is not required for this command. This command will ignore any domain file (the domain file will have no effect). The settings Input offset, Size, and Output offset do affect this command, as it will only fill areas that are within the limits set by those options if they are set. The format for the fill pattern is as follows: At the start of every LBA will be the text "HDDSUPERFILLMARK", followed by a space, and then the status of the block according the progress log (NON-TRIED, NON-TRIMMED, NON-SCRAPED, NON-DIVIDED, BAD). There will be another space and then the number of the LBA as text proceeded by "0x" to indicate the number is in hex (example 0x1a2b3c). There will be a few more spaces, and then the rest of the LBA block will be filled with a repeating hex pattern of dd ee aa dd bb ee ee ff.

Hi pepe

I thought OP wanted to fill with just a pattern, not the LBA value per se'.

My bad.

I seem to recall that one of the flash recovery tool vendors provides a freeware tool to fill each sector with the LBA number.

Is this it?
