KillDisk Testimonials
Active@ KillDisk gives you a fast, easy way to delete your files and folders for good if you're getting rid of your hard drive. While it's not as advanced as some other permanent deletion programs, it offers enough bonus features to keep you interested. The professional, welcoming look earns it a few extra points.
Simply deleting files, or even formatting the disk, does nothing to stop a determined snoop. This program, a powerful (and free!) set of tools, promises to do something much more useful. ...... once the program has done its job, there is no turning back.
We have been using this to satisfy data wiping requirements at the university before disposing of old equipment. It is very simple to use so we are able to have workstudies wiping the drives. It does take several hours on a 3 pass wipe, but I don't think anything can be done about the time due to the nature of what the software has to do. It would be nice if there were audible or more obvious visual prompts that a wipe has completed, so the workstudy can see at a glance without looking at the small status window.

How to use disk Secure Erase function
APRIL 21, by LSoft team
KillDisk offers low-level ATA Secure Erase method for Solid State Drives (SSD). According to NIST 800-88: Guidelines for Media Sanitation, Secure Erase is "An overwrite technology using firmware based process to overwrite a hard drive. Is a drive command defined in the ANSI ATA and SCSI disk drive interface specifications, which runs inside drive hardware." ATA Secure Erase is designed for SSD only (not HDD) and for SSD controllers only (not NVMe).The Gutmann method or do you really need to overwrite your drive 35x to be safe?
AUGUST 8, by LSoft team
Many of our novice or semi-advanced users of our software have asked us about the famous or infamous Gutmann method and whether is it truly required for disks to be overwritten 35x for data to be securely sanitized once and for all? If you have read our blog on how to delete data you already know that US DoD 5220.22-M or any other method that has 3 passes is good enough for data sanitation. However, since our KillDisk does support Gutmann we find that some explanation is necessary, otherwise “why put something there if you are not using it?”.
