70 hours remaining to wipe HDD with DBAN!! How is this possible and how can I interrupt it?

I purchased a used 1TB WD hard drive and concerned about possible malware I decided to securely wipe it. Based on some research I decided to use DBAN for this task loading it via Rufus on a bootable USB stick.

I was unsure about the optimal method to wipe the drive and I ended up with Method: PRNG Stream, Verify: Last Pass and Rounds: 1. However, after initiating the wipe, the throughput was around 14MB/s and the estimated time to completion is 70 hours, which seems incredibly long!

Could you help me understand if it is normal? Should I be adjusting the parameters or using a different method for a faster wipe?

Right now I'm also concerned about interrupting the process as I don't want to risk damaging the drive. Any guidance or suggestions would be much appreciated! Thank you
