I have to use Windows for several reasons I won't get into here.

I haven't been able to find any software to do this in parallel, everything I see just queue's them up one at a time.

But as I think more into it - is there even any point in doing them in parallel vs sequential? I have the drives connected via a SAS card in IT mode - can I get full write speeds on multiple drive's at once?

If so, any suggestions on Windows software that can do this? I honestly prefer a UI given the amount of drives and so I can check status but if not, I think this command would zero out each drive?

format g: /fs:NTFS /p:0

If it won't be any faster then one by one, I have no problems just throwing them into USB enclosures, it'll take a month or so to do them all, that's ok.
