Disk Wipe

Disk Wipe is a software application which enables you to easily remove all the data from any hard disk, as well as removable drives, such as SD cards or USB drives.
Surprisingly enough, this utility is portable and therefore, there will be no leftover files after its removal, and the Windows registry will not suffer any changes.
Another important aspect is that it can be used on any PC you come in contact with, by simply placing the program files to a portable storage unit (e.g. USB flash drive) and double-clicking the EXE. You do not need to worry about the installation process, as it is not required.
The interface sports a clean design, which allows all types of users to find their way around it, without experiencing difficulties of any kind. It is comprised of a few buttons and panels, so that you can easily view all detected drives and information pertaining to them.
The wiping process is built similar to that of a wizard, and requires you to select the file system the device is based on. After this, you just have to click the “Finish” button and let Disk Wipe do the rest.
There are multiple erasing patterns featured, from quick ones (one pass random), to very slow ones (US Department of Defense – 7 passes, Peter Guttman – 35 passes etc.), and you can also assign thread priority and view logs.
Our tests have revealed that CPU and memory usage can be quite significant at times and therefore, it might affect your computer’s performance. It is recommended that the wiping process not be launched alongside other demanding processes.
Taking all of this into consideration, it becomes apparent Disk Wipe is an efficient and powerful piece of software, and a good choice when it comes to removing unwanted data from drives.
