Disk Wipe

The Wipe Disk procedure (like the erase procedure) allows you to specify the erase method to use as well as a few additional wipe-specific options.

Erase method

One of 20+ sanitizing methods including many international standards and custom patterns supported by KillDisk

Verify erasure

Percentage of disk to be verified after wiping out unused clusters

Wipe unused clusters

Erase areas of the hard drive that are not formatted and not currently used by the OS (data has not been recently written there unless this is a recently deleted partition)

Wipe metadata and system files area

Erase areas of the disk containing information about previous files on the volume and prevents recovery of files using their remained records

Wipe slack space in file clusters

Erase slack space within files. Because files are usually never exactly the size of the space allocated to them there may be unused space within a file that may contain traces of data. This algorithm wipes that space to remove these data traces.

Print wipe labels

This feature prints wipe label automatically after wipe is completed using a specific Disk Label Preset configuration
