Operation Manual

Keep data – leave the old disk partitions and data intact
Destroy data – destroy all data on the old disk
If you are going to sell or give away your old disk, we recommend that you make sure you
destroy the data on it.
If you are going to keep it for data storage, you can create a new partition layout on it. In
this case, the disk will be ready right after cloning is complete.
To protect yourself from unforeseen consequences, it is recommended that you leave the old
disk data intact and delete it later, once you know the cloning process was successful.
13.3.7 Destroying the old disk data
If you elected to destroy the old disk data in the previous step, you will have to select the
destruction method now:

Normal – multipass destruction
