Macrorit Disk Partition Wiper

In certain cases, it is better to destroy data than to let it fall in the wrong hands. When it comes to large amounts of data, shredding individual files may prove to be inefficient. In this particular situation, you can use Macrorit Disk Partition Wiper to scrub entire partitions. The software places several shredding methods at your disposal and you can use them on any partition or on removable drives.

Macrorit Disk Partition Wiper comes in a paid version, as well as a freeware edition, for non-commercial use. It works on all popular Windows platforms and it can be installed fast and easy. The application comes in a portable version as well, which can be installed with a different setup file, on a removable drive.

The user interface displays your local drives, along with their total, free and used memory. If you connect one or more external drives to your computer, such as USB sticks or removable hard drives, they will be displayed in a similar manner, on the same interface. The software can wipe everything on a selected drive, including the free space, using various algorithms. It can replace the data with ones or zeros or both. Also, Macrorit Disk Partition Wiper can make multiple passes, when shredding data, through DoD 5220 shredding algorithms.

The supported shredding algorithms are presented above the local and removable drives. All you have to do is select a drive and an algorithm and hit a button to start wiping. Completing the process takes some time, but when it is done, the contained data will be completely destroyed. You won't be able to recover it, even with the best recovery utility on the market. For safety reasons, the program will ask you to type the word "wipe", before it starts shredding any data, so you won't start wiping any drives by mistake.
