Before you go yee haw over that prpq keep in mind that it cannot sanitize
all your disks. Only non configured disks and it doesn't look like the
disks can be on the same IOP as your load source. To me, this sounds like
a big limitation. If you have two hundred disk drives and this leaves you
with only 7 you need to throw into the industrial indemnified shredder by
a company like Iron Mountain then that may be good enough for you. But if
you're really wanting to sell all your disk drives and you only have six
and they are all on the load source IOP then it's probably worthless.

There are other methods. These are not sanctioned by any government
requirement but may be 'good enough' for you. Like
- deleting all user data, including stream file data, user profiles, and
whatnot.
- reformatting the disks
- filling the disks with dummy data
- reformatting the disks again.

probably the easiest way to fill the disks with dummy data, without any
programming, is by repeated use of the CRTNWSSTG command.
