Unfortunately nearly *every* single one of these tools that I've encountered that claim to wipe 100% fail in one or more circumstances. I'm not able to name names or publish test results, so feel free to take what I've said with a gigantic grain of salt. However, as you can infer from the .gov email address - I'm not here to sell anything. (That's a good lesson to learn for future reading on this list, btw - read posts from salesmen with a very skeptical eye, *especially* in this field). The only one that I haven't seen fail yet is DBAN ( http://dban.sourceforge.net ) - but I'm not done testing it.
