I would love to learn about other people's experience with the application. I still make some additions/changes occasionally, but there's no exact roadmap. Didn't have to deal with forensics experts yet though. I have been using the application for some time for personal needs on all supported platforms. The initial active development phase is done.

  • The application hasn't even been tested on RAID storages, beware.
  • For example, using a block size of 1 MB the size of the storage can be up to 4096 TB. In the Sleep state the power consumption of the memory device is minimized and the memory. Sleep (CMD5) A card may be switched between a Sleep and a Standby state using the SLEEP/AWAKE (CMD5). device in sleep mode, any command issued to it will cause it to exit sleep and respond.
  • The maximum number of blocks per storage device is 2 32, or 4,294,967,296. When the host is ready to access a memory.
  • Later, a support for Secure Erase ATA commands may be added to make the process more reliable. The best approach currently is to use multiple wiping rounds with random data.
  • For SSD, it's impossible to reliable wipe all the data because of the various optimizations performed by modern SSD controllers, namely wear leveling and compression.
  • Tracks & skips bad blocks and other localized errors automatically (Experimental).
  • Allows to override OS recommended block size for possibly faster operations.
  • Uses fast cryptographic random generator.
  • Validates the data (reads back) to make sure all write commands were successful.
  • Supports Windows (but not WSL), macOS and Linux.
  • Or non-cross-platform, which was a requirement for me.

    There are other similar applications around (including multiple built-in Linux tools). In other words, on overwriting existing data with multiple layers of randomly generated data or some The usual methods for wiping (or sanitization) a drive, including those (allegedly) used by government agencies are based Should work with any HDD, SSD (read limitations) and flash drives. A secure, free, cross-platform and open-source drive wiping utility.
