Six deletion methods for maximum security
O& O SafeErase allows you to choose from six different deletion methods. The deletion method varies in terms of the number of runs and the type of coverage process. No matter what requirements you have, these methods can ensure maximum security. In addition to the standardized deletion methods of the US Department of Defense (DoD) and the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), you can also choose the complex mathematical method (Gutmann method) that meets the highest level of security. In this scientifically recognized data deletion method, precisely defined rules and fixed and random values are used to overwrite the corresponding area of the hard drive 35 times. Through this approach, O& O SafeErase even exceeds the requirements of DoD and BSI. You can also quickly delete data by covering it with zero.
Solid state drive erase
O& O SafeErase includes the SolidErase feature, which was developed specifically for removing SSDs. SolidErase saves and thoroughly utilizes resources, making data irreparable and minimizing the pressure on SSDs.
