How to Use Macrorit Data Wiper?

To follow the guide listed and test out the wipe feature, first you can download free disk wiper to begin with, then read the introduction of 6 different ways of wiping methods provided by the software and choose appropriate method to wipe.

  • Fill Sectors with zero. (Quick)
  • Fill Sectors with one. (Quick)
  • Fill Sectors with zero & one. (Slow)
  • DoD 5220.22-M (3 passes). (Very slow)
  • DoD 5220.28-STD (7 Passes). (Very slow)
  • NEW Peter Gutmann's Algorithm (35 passes). (Super slow)

No.1~No.3 write once while No.4 writes 3 times and No.5 writes 7 times. In particular,No.5 provides highest security level for data and requires 7 passes (hence, it is slow) which matches the U.S. Department of Defense standards (DOD 5220.28). It is also considered as the highest level of security wiping method. It erases hard drive data, so that no recovery programs can ever retrieve your sensitive and confidential data.

Generally speaking, if your data file is not that confidential or large, you can choose No.1 or NO.2, But If you want better effect of wiping, choose the other three options.

Now, let's begin to wipe a hard drive or individual files and folders permanently.
