Hi,
As drive contains secret information,inspite of formatting hard disk and it may be dangerous in some situations. So I used drive wipe tool for Linux (red hat) to erase all data. But there is a problem with it. I have given command “sudo wipe /dev/partition”and it starts wiping but it is taking so much and never finish the processing. I have checked and limit number of passes but it did not work for me. Please tell me how to fast speed of wiping a hard drive?
