Free Utility Roadkil’s Disk Wipe Just Wipes Disks–And That’s Enough
You’ve gotta love a program that’s as small, simple, easy to use, and straightforward as Roadkil’s DiskWipe. Download it, unzip it, run it, and use it to overwrite the data on your disks. The program lets you select a drive–including removable drives–and write the entire drive with zeros or random numbers. You may also run multiple passes if you’re really paranoid. Interfaces don’t get any simpler or easier than DiskWipe’s.DiskWipe leaves you on your own recognizance for selecting drives, though it does present the removable media at the top of the list. But it will not stop you from overwriting your system drive, so… Don’t do that. It’s much like a loaded gun that relies on its owner to point it in a safe direction.

In one of the file folders, I found about a dozen resumes that I had wanted to keep and in another there was a bunch of printed product brochures from various vendors. Every gadget I found in that box had evolved or been replaced by some new innovation. Even the non-gadgets like printed product brochures have been replaced by websites that [...]

In spite of this model’s handy buttons, however, it stumbles in overall usability and navigation. The Reader Wi-Fi carries a competitive price of $ 130 (as of December 9, 2011). That puts it at $ 31 more than the Barnes & Noble Nook Simple Touch, and less than the advertising-free version of the Amazon Kindle Touch.
