Fully Programmable Utility
The
Blackmore data purge utility is fully programmable, allowing multiple
overwrites. The standard default is one overwrite with any number of
additional overwrites programmable. The other defaults are three and
seven times (US Military).
1)
The utility is able to destroy contents of whole hard drives,
including partition tables, boot records, file system structures,
operating system files and user files.
2)
It shreds data according to U.S. Department of Defense
recommendations to destroy data (DoD 5200.28-STD): seven pass
extended character rotation wiping.
3)
Contents of hard drives is wiped without any dependence of files
system used to format the drives (FAT, NTFS, HPFS or other).
4)
It is designed to provide a high performance of shredding. On modern
hard drives performance of write operations is up to 15 Mbytes/sec.
So seven pass wiping performance is up to 2.5 Mbytes/sec.
As
the utility uses low-level disk access, hard drives will be wiped
without any regards to file system used on the hard drive partitions
(whether it is DOS/Windows file system or not).
