BUT, currently the red indicator shows it is not even at 25% and it still says erasing data etc... (currently it has taken a few hours to get to this point)
My question is, though it says erasing data is it in fact erasing then encrypting/formatting at the same time ?
If it is only erasing, why would it take so long to erase, even if it were doing some type of XOR XOR etc... it should not take that long right ?
