Mass Deletion
During a mass deletion, multiple media are deleted at the same time. This brings a huge time and performance advantage due to the simultaneous processing of multiple target media.
When making a selection within the MultiDelete group, you also have the option to select multiple media from the list in the Media selection dialog. The subsequent process remains the same as it would with single media deletion.
| Note: A mass deletion yields the same results as the consecutive deletion of single media. Therefore, it is equally as safe. |
MultiDelete provides a strong advantage when it comes to speed when compared to single deletion. With Optimal Connected Media, the increase in speed is directly proportional to the number of media. For example, a fourfold deletion yields about four times the data throughput of a single deletion.
| Note: Please note that the achievable speed depends on the hardware used (optimally SATA, USB3, IDE, or SAS/SCSI) and on the maximum speed of the individual disks. |
MultiDelete can be used with an combination of drive types. Differences in performance between the media types could have an impact on the total performance. We recommend using IDE drives configured as master only.
