As we all know that merely clearing the Recycle Bin from within the operating system does not guarantee that the data can no longer be retrieved. In many cases, a 100 percent recovery can be achieved using a number of commercially available software tools.

While software tools exist to perform proper data wipes, it's a challenge to cleanup company-wide computers.

Wiebetech introduced the first standalone, consumer-friendly hard drive wiping device named eRazer. Unlike most exiting data wiping software solutions, the eRazer doesn’t need a computer to work. You just plug your hard drive in to the device, turn it on and it will take care of the data shredding business.

According to Wiebetech, eRazer wipes data at the rate of 35MB/s, about 55% faster than most software wiping solutions.
Wiping hard-drive without having to tie up your computer could be interesting to many major companies.
