Functionality
HDShredder deletes the contents of hard disks and other mass storage media reliably at physical level. HDShredder can also be applied to individual partitions and user can select to perform the deletion according to international security standards. HDShredder works independent of partition layout, file system, and operating system. It also works with proprietary formats which otherwise would be unaccessible.

Freely selectable deletion patterns
HDShredder offers an editor for deletion patterns. It lets users freely define their own specific deletion patterns as well as entire deletion procedures with up to 398 runs.

Store the deletion report to USB media and NEW: on Windows network drives
HDShredder creates a detailed deletion report with any deletion from the Professional Edition on. This report can now be stored to USB keys and other USB media. Unter Windows the deletion report can also be stored on network drives.

Firewire and SATA-II device support
Deleting fast SATA-II media (internal and external via eSATA) as well as Firewire hard disks and memory cards using a Firewire card reader.

HDShredder on Windows (XP/Vista/7/Server) NEW: Windows 8 and Server 2012
• access to special media & controllers (SCSI, SAS, RAID, Dynamic Volumes ...)
• using familiar Windows drive letters
Each HDShredder software package now contains a Windows program (HDShredder/W) in addition to the self-booting program (HDShredder/S). Since both are operated identically, you do not have to change over when switching between HDShredder/s and HDShredder/W.

Note: Please use the Free Edition to find out if a certain PC system and its mass storage media are supported. The Free Edition shows all supported and recognized drives, but some of them may only be usable with one of the higher editions.
