disk ownership

. Where is the disk ownership info saved? Is it save on the drives or in on the OnTap configuration?  Typically we erase the drives in the expansion shelf using a 3rd party erasure program like Blancco or XErase and then run wipeconfig on the controllers. Is that good enough or will those drives retain the ownership info?????
