Best tools for wiping HD's

Post by Pyperkub »

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone had had any good experences with HD erasing tools.

I'm currently checking out Darik's Boot and Nuke, but am open to suggestions. Esp. at 30+mins/HD...

note that I need to wipe confidential data off of 20+ HD's before sending them to the University Swap Shop (by Wed am, possibly...)

i've been using Eraser for standard files, but it doesn't work from a floppy... good for secure moves though...

Thanks!
