5.3.5gSecurely erase hard disks using multiple security algorithms provided by this application that can create bootable media and run speed tests
If you’re planning to sell your hard drive it is always best to make sure that the data that is on it cannot be recovered, even if specialized tools are used. HDShredder is a program that was designed to assist the erasing process in order to wipe the data until it is beyond recovery.
The app has a simple interface and a clean layout, which means less experienced users should find it easy to handle.
The program lets you choose if to erase an entire drive or only a certain partition. Once you make a selection, you can go further to define the areas that you want to delete permanently.
The volumes are displayed with total size, as well as with their partitions and formatting. Additional details can be viewed regarding the drive, such as the controller, name, serial number, vendor and firmware.
Regarding the wiping method, the program provides several options: “Automatic”, “Standards” and “User-defined”. While the first one doesn’t give you any room to choose, the second one provides over a dozen different algorithms, such as the DOD 5200.28M, Gutmann, Pfitzner, Schneier and many others. The latter one lets you define a deletion pattern and the number of passes.
The bottom line is that HDShredder is a useful tool that can come in handy on numerous occasions. Beginners should find the program easy to use, thanks to its overall simplicity.
