I will give wipe a try, the description sounds good. Will last a while as I am out of home for a few days. But it would be great if it could really support 2 TB.

From my former job I know how important it can be to delete files secure.
I found a lot of important deleted files in the last 20 years


For this reason I asked for a partition wiper and a whole HD wiper.
