I have a pile of hard drives sitting around that need to be securely wiped. Does anyone know of something similar to DBAN or ShredOS for ARM that I can use to turn a Pi into a disk wipe station? It doesn’t need to be a dedicated OS, just a package that I can run on top of armbian or whatever.

    Very helpful, thank you! One question on this:

    a proper SATA controller and connection

    Are we just talking about a SATA hat here?

      I’m not familiar with the hat, you can always run hdparm /I against the drive and see what the output is.
