(semi)automated, RPi based usb stick eraser?
Did same exact thing for the same exact reason. Try autoshred https://github.com/pgporada/autoshred

Destroy the data on 720 HDDs how?
For wiping, you could always set up an Autoshred environment (https://github.com/pgporada/autoshred). The details of swapping drives in and out, ordering something so you don't have to put the drives into caddies, etc. are between you and whoever's paying for time and equipment.
- Favorite software to forensically wipe drives with ease.

ExFAT Driver Boasts Much Faster "Dirsync" Performance with Linux 6.9
The note about the partition table makes me wonder how he was formatting the drive. https://github.com/JElchison/format-udf specifically does some partition table related hacks to make UDF maximally compatible with different platforms.

Windows on Btrfs
I recall getting UDF cross compatibility required a bit of non-trivial work[0], did this improve recently?

BigFAT – Backward compatible FAT extension for unlimited file size
> can't start shipping SD cards formatted with btrfs until Windows supports it out of the box
3rd parties can write drivers for Windows, you know. A small, read-only FAT partition on a USB stick or SD card could contain the installable drivers necessary to read/write the rest of the disk.
However, that's unnecessary. The best option for a universal file system is UDF. Windows, Mac, and Linux all have full read/write support.

Which format should I format HDD?
It seems like exFAT has the best compatibility across systems, and for reasons I can't remember, I went with UDF (format-udf).
- Working with UDF on a Mac
- slow rsync to exFAT pendrive.
- Shared NTFS Steam game drives keep getting corrupted, should I switch to another filesystem? Or am I doing something wrong?
-
Which disk format to choose for usage on both W10, MacOS and Linux. Exfat seems reasonable but please inform me of any caveats. Should I consider UDF or ZFS instead?
If wikipedia and 4-6-8 years old stackexchange info remains up to date apparently the disk needs to be UDF formatted in Linux with https://github.com/JElchison/format-udf to be gain true cross platform https://github.com/JElchison/format-udf to be read/write enabled across all platforms
- Torvalds wants new NTFS driver in kernel
What are some alternatives?
When comparing autoshred and format-udf you can also consider the following projects:
avro-piper - Console utilities for Avro
Proton - Compatibility tool for Steam Play based on Wine and additional components
autoshred - An automatic disk shredding utility
openzfs - OpenZFS on Linux and FreeBSD
bashmultitool - A library for bash shell scripting containing useful helper functions.
