Software to wipe disk drives on servers and pc

am 30.01.2008 22:11:07 von skymax_taf

Hello,

I have a few servers and pcs (both personal and business) that I would like to donate to Goodwill. Before I do that, I want to wipe the drives completely. Does anyone have a recommendation on a good software product I can use to wipe these drives before donating them? Thank you in advance for your time.

Sorry, i sent the wrong mail; now the complete one:
DBAN (http://dban.sourceforge.net/) as GPL solution

or Blancco Data Cleaner plus and pro (http://www.blancco.com) as a
comercial solution.

A problem with DBAN can be the HDDS at the RAID-controllers on the servers.
