I think there should wipe confirmation fingerprint left on the hard drive after the drive sucessfully wipes. all it would need to do is to write to the MBR and show basic information of the system wiped.
wipe pass/fail
hdd model
hdd serial number
make and model of machine the drive was wiped in
machine serial number
lshw hardware summary(not necessary, but it would make inventory easier for resalers)

The main purpose of an HDD fingerprint would be to be able to turn the machine on and verify the machine has completed wiping and not shut down during the wiping process (laptops are guilty of this often)
