Did you know?
- Deleting a file does not erase it from your hard drive!
- Formatting a hard drive does not erase the hard drive!
- It's possible (and sometimes easy) for someone else to recover files if you don't dispose of them properly!
What is Drive eRazer?
WiebeTech's newest hardware solution completely erases all data
from a hard drive quickly and easily. Stand-alone operation.
No computer required! Faster than software.
Why use hardware?
Drive eRazer is faster than software programs, and Drive eRazer doesn't
tie up a computer. What's more, it's far easier. Simply connect it to a drive
and flip a switch. No computer needed.
How fast is it?
Faster than software. A conservative estimate is 35MB/s. A 250GB drive
would be fully erased in under two hours.*
How safe is it?
Very. Drive eRazer writes over every bit of your drive. After it's done,
there's nothing left to recover. For those who want even more assurance,
we offer a Pro model which is capable of more than one pass with
random characters.
1. Single-Pass Mode (Standard and Pro Model)
A single data pattern is written one time across the whole disk, deleting
blocks including partitions and Host Protected Areas. Verification is also
done after a single pass.
2. Multi-Pass Mode (Pro Model only)
The Pro model offers the ability to perform multiple passes. Why? Some
studies show that there may be ways of recovering bits of data even after
completely overwriting everything on the drive. We believe the laboratory
required to actually pull off such a feat would cost millions (if not billions)
of dollars. However, if you must convince someone that there's no way
data can be recovered, a pro model with the multi-pass feature is for you.
Multi-Pass mode:
- Deletes all blocks including partitions and Host Protected Areas, even ones normally invisible to operating systems.
- Automatically checks for and removes DCOs.
- Writes to every sector of the disk using different data each pass.
- Verifies after the last pass that the last pattern was successfully written across the disk.
Does it meet DoD specifications?
The Department of Defence has recently (June 28, 2007) updated their
specifications regarding sanitization. Drive eRazer meets the DoD
requirements for "clearing" a "Non-Removable Rigid Disk." The
specification requires destruction of a hard drive containing government
classified data. As far as the DoD is concerned, Drive eRazer is as good
as it gets without a degaussing machine or other destructive methods.
Does it destroy the drive?
No. It only destroys the data. After using Drive eRazer you can choose to use the drive again or safely sell it.
What Operating Systems does it work with?
The nice thing about Drive eRazer is that you do not need to hook it up
to a computer, and so there is no required operating system. Drive
eRazer will erase Mac, Windows, Linux, already blank, or home-brew
formatted disks quite easily.
What kind of drives does it work with?
There are 4 models of Drive eRazer.
