Found myself with a pile of old hard drives that I collected from years of scavaging so I thought it would be nice to erase them properly before I ebay them. At the moment I tried using Active Eraser but is there other alternatives?

All this crap about having to do multiple passes so that the data cannot be recovered is a load of crap, there is no program that can recover data after only one pass.
Ontrack EasyRecovery Professional is about the best recovery software you can get, and even that is unable to recover a single file after only one pass.
That simply isnt true.Taza said:Tanas said:I use the Free Space Washing option in Window Washer.

There's plenty of software that might be able to read data after a single pass. Not always though.
