[SOLVED] seatools bootable erase sanitize

What seatools bootable erase sanitize do to the data in a HDD? I could not understand if it erases all the data in the HDD, or if it rewrites the data.

It does not over-write the data with junk data, just deletes the information. More thorough than just deleting files.
