CBL specialises in data recovery.  I liked the layout of the wipe screen.  Using the default options, CBL Data Shredder took 68 minutes to wipe our 120GB drive.

Version tested: CBL Data Shredder v1.0

Plus points:

• it’s free.
• it gives you the option, at the end of the process, to save a report.

Things I didn’t like:

• nothing.  Program worked as advertised. 

Test notes:

• Accepted the defaults, which was 1 pass.
• Other wipe options are:
  Peter Gutmann’s
  Bruce Schneier’s
  3-pass US DoD 5220-22M 
  RCMP DSX Method
  German VSITR standard
