Anyone know of a free good one? I am selling one of my backup disks no longer needed so need to make sure data is gone :)

Is there anything for 64bit in particular as I would assume that it would perform faster ?

Cheers!
 
Hi,

I settled on a non DOS solution as I did not want to have to move my case, open it all up and disconnect the internal drives just to do this so I settled on this:

Hard Disk Scrubber v2.1

It looks pretty simple but does a pretty thorough job. I ran a data recovery program after a "heavy scrub" followed by a normal scrub and could not detect any of my data to recover, only the scrubber data.

The heavy scrub took pretty much a whole day whilst the normal one takes 10ish hours.

Good tool :)
 
Recuva is good to test with, I'm currently doing a thorough recover scan and so far it's not found any of my files too (just to be safe!)
