    Xerox WorkCentre 7346

    These printers come with a minimum HDD of 40GB but does anyone know what type interface - IDE or SATA?

    Thanks

    Yes, that helps. Much appreciated.

    When I look that part number up, I see that the HDD connect to a 'controller/interposer' board with a 40-pin IDE connector. Is it possible to connect a IDE cable to the 40-pin and erase the HDD?

    Glad I can Help.

    Yes it is possible to hook it up "externally" by using a USB to SATA/IDE Cable to erase the HDD. Keep in mind when you erase the HDD, you are also "wiping" the OS and it needs to be reloaded in order for the machine to work.

    I have a customer who leased the unit so he wants me to erase and does not care about the OS. Looks like I can connect the 40-pin IDE bus cable of a PC to the 40-pin male IDE port on the 'controller/interposer' and erase. Is that correct?

    I do not believe so, I would pull the hard drive off from the controller card and hook it up externally to a computer and wipe it. It will not effect the OS to the computer when hooked up.

    Yes, from a picture of the part (960K29230), I don't see a way to get power to the HDD. So I will need to purchase a USB to SATA/IDE adapter kit.

    Thanks

    As far as I know, Yes you need to purchase the USB to SATA & IDE kit. Unless you want to "physically" destroy it....

    Yes. The other alternative is to replace the HDD with an already erased HDD of the same physical size. I don't think the storage size would matter. Can you confirm that this is a notebook style HDD?

    True you can replace it with an already wiped drive, however I have some customers that want a "certificate" of wipe.

    I can 100% confirm it is a notebook drive!
