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
