DBAN
Delete information stored on hard disk drives (HDDs, not SSDs) in PC laptops, desktops, or servers. Plus, remove viruses and spyware from Microsoft Windows installations. While DBAN is free to use, there’s no guarantee your data is completely sanitized across the entire drive. It cannot detect or erase SSDs and does not provide a certificate of data removal for auditing purposes or regulatory compliance. Hardware support (e.g. no RAID dismantling), customer support and software updates are not available using DBAN. If you are an enterprise that needs to erase data from SSDs or requires a certificate of erasure for compliance purposes, request your free Blancco Drive Eraser trial for enterprise organizations. DBAN is intended for individuals or home use to support data removal needs. For a comprehensive certified data erasure solution in companies and organizations, including reporting, Blancco is the recommended security solution.
