FAQs

Genesis is an automated HDD and SSD erasure, repair, and grading platform designed for high-volume processing. It delivers NIST-compliant erasure, defect reallocation and merge repair for HDDs, SSD health reporting, and full audit traceability.

Genesis supports 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch SATA and SAS HDDs, as well as SATA and SAS SSDs. NVMe support is currently in development.

No. SSD defects are related to worn flash cells and controller-level management, which cannot be repaired internally. Genesis can, however, perform full erasure, smart health scoring, TRIM operations, and device-level consistency checks.

Genesis can repair defects reallocation, stabilise weak sectors, and re-map problematic areas. This significantly increases usable yield from data-bearing HDDs.

Yes. Genesis provides detailed health scoring, wear analysis, and grading metrics that customers use to categorise devices and determine resale value.

Yes. Genesis supports NIST SP 800-88 Purge and Clear-level erasure methods, with full verification and chain-of-custody reporting.

Yes. Genesis is ADISA Product Assurance certified, validating both sanitisation performance and data handling processes.

Genesis is available in the 8, 16, 32, 64, and 96 ports configuration. Throughput depends on device type, condition, and chosen erasure or repair schedule.

Yes. Genesis can process drives while they remain in certain caddies by using Port Extenders. These connect directly to the drive without requiring removal from the enclosure. Port Extenders are available for both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch drive sizes, and compatibility depends on whether the caddy design allows direct access to the drive’s data and power connectors.

Genesis is designed to be simple and intuitive, so it does not require a highly skilled technician to operate. Most users can begin running erasure or repair jobs after a short on boarding session. The system automates the complex processes, guides the user through each step, and generates all reporting automatically. A basic understanding of handling drives and connecting hardware is sufficient.

Genesis produces detailed per-device certificates, health scores (Guardian), and full audit records accessible via the Genesis Cloud Portal.

Yes. Genesis is used widely in mobile and on-site data erasure operations, including data centre clear-downs and field recovery jobs.

Nemesis is a certified network-device erasure platform for erasing routers, switches, firewalls, and other network appliances, providing secure sanitisation and full reporting.

Nemesis supports a wide and growing list of Cisco, HP, Juniper, Brocade, Dell, Arista, and other enterprise network devices. A full supported-device list is published and updated regularly.

Nemesis performs configuration wipes, licence and credential removal, file-system sanitisation, and factory-reset processes tailored to each device family. Nemesis utilizes both the vendor-specific secure-erase commands and our own propriety erasure methods.

Yes. Nemesis is NIST SP 800-88 aligned for network devices and holds ADISA Product Assurance certification.

Yes. Nemesis is available in 2-port, 4-port, 6-port, and 8-port configurations, allowing multiple devices to be processed simultaneously.

This varies by manufacturer, model, and device condition. Average processing times range from 20 to 40 minutes for most devices.

Nemesis performs automated device identification capturing the model, series, serial numbers and system information.

Nemesis is designed to be simple and intuitive and requires minimal interaction. If a manual task is required Nemesis will guide the user with clear instructions, allowing anyone to operate the system confidently with minimal training.

Each device produces a detailed sanitisation certificate, serial-number capture, software and configuration summaries, and a full audit log. Results are visible in the Cloud Portal.

Nemesis can process many devices with missing credentials, partial boot issues, or restricted access modes. Results depend on the state of the device and vendor limitations.

Yes, Nemesis provides mains or PoE power to the connected devices allowing the system to fully control the devices during the erasure process.

Yes. Nemesis is used in data centres, field jobs, and mobile recovery operations where secure, certified sanitisation is required.

Updates are released regularly. New integrations are driven by customer demand, market trends, and device submissions received by Ultratest.
