Eraser Forum
I would like to know if there are any alternatives that are equal to the erasing power of dban but are faster. I have been using dban for 2years now and on average it takes me 24hours to do a 1 pass wipe on a 100gb drive and alot of other ppl on here have reported speeds much faster then this but for me dban is just really slow so again I would like to see if there are any other alternatives out there that are as secure as dban but faster or if there anything I can do to speed dban up.
Here are some of my system specs.
and here is some info about my drive.
TIA,
Nosix
