Hi,
I have a bunch of old SATA drives that I need to wipe. I will be connecting them to a laptop via an external USB drive dock thing. I want to run something on the laptop to the wipe the external drive. I haven't had to wipe drives in forever so, is DBAN still the standard thing to use for that? Is there something else I can just run from within Windows? I thought DBAN had to run from a flash drive but maybe that's changed?
Anyway, just looking for recommendations. I don't need something that DoD approved or anything like that. Just something to mostly make sure the data is gone.
Thanks!
