HDD Low Level Format Tool is an application that does exactly what its name suggests: it erases the files stored on a certain device for ever, which means no recovery software will manage to restore a bit of your data.
You won’t find anything too difficult when trying to install HDD Low Level Format Tool.
The same applies to the interface, which is quite basic and simple, as developers have concentrated much more on the overall speed of the application rather than on the way it looks.
And you can get even greater speed if you agree to pay just a very small fee for a full license, but you can always continue using the free version which is limited to a speed of 50 MB/s.
HDD Low Level Format Tool is able to work with numerous devices, including flash cards, presuming you already have a card reader, as well as with USB and Firewire drives. Being limited to just 50 MB/s, it might take a while until the job gets completed, so it could take up to 24 hours if you intend to erase data or fix errors on devices larger than 1 TB.
Probably the only setback is that the application that includes a help file that could help you feel a bit safer, especially when thinking that HDD Low Level Format Tool is actually the kind of tool that will delete files once and for ever.
The bottom line couldn’t be simpler: if you’re looking for a light utility to safely erase your data, or you’re searching for an app to fix errors found on the hard disks, HDD Low Level Format Tool is a sure bet. And, more importantly, it’s free. And what we liked even more is that it doesn’t cost a fortune to unlock its full powers.
