Securely wipe your drive with Paragon Disk Wiper 8.5

August 20, 2007 in Software | Permalink

Grab140 From time to time, we'll want to move up to a larger hard drive. For instance, install Vista and grab audio from your CDs and you'll soon be running out of drive space. What do you do with your old drive once you've copied across the contents to your new drive? You could just give it another computer user or you could dispose of the drive. The snag is, even if you've formatted the drive, the contents are still accessible through a dedicated unformatting tool such as O&O FormatRecovery.

Paragon Disk Wiper 8.5 is a tool designed for one purpose: to cleanse and wipe a drive or drive partition so that anyone who receives or finds your drive cannot unformat the contents and find your personal info. It uses an algorithm to mess up and wipe the existing contents. Sure you might not need this tool very often, but at the price available, it might be worth considering for your collection.
