HDShredder allows you to completely erase hard disks or other data storage media as well as individual partitions easily but securely and irrevocably, according to international standards, if desired. The data once deleted cannot be recovered with data recovery software either.
HDShredder can erase hard disks regardless of the respective partition scheme, the data system used, and the installed operating system(s). With the erasure standards supported, HDShredder provides a high security as well as a high level of flexibility with the option to freely define own deletion patterns.
The Free Edition of HDShredder deletes hard disks and other storage media ultimately and reliably. Afterwards, these media can be sold or dumped without any risk that former data can be restored, even not with recovery software. With HDShredder you'll be able to completely erase a hard drive and get rid of any data you no longer need.
