Active@ KillDisk Freeware is an easy-to use & compact utility that allows to sanitize storage media with the One Pass Zeros data sanitizing standard.
It permanently erases all data on Hard Disks, Solid State Drives, Memory Cards & USB drives, SCSI storage & RAID disk arrays and even two disks in parallel.
Freeware version includes Windows, Linux or MacOS X executables, User Guide, License as well as Console Boot Disk ISO image (Windows & Linux only) containing KillDisk pre-installed and bootable disk creator for CD/DVD/Blu-ray & USB disks.
