Summary<\/strong>:<\/strong> This blog mentions the differences between free and paid data eraser software. It also mentions a professional data eraser tool that securely wipes data from hard drives and other storage devices beyond the scope of recovery.<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

If you\u2019re selling or disposing of your computer or hard drive, you need to completely wipe or erase the data (not just delete) to protect it. The best way to completely wipe data from a hard drive is by using data eraser software<\/a>. So, if you\u2019re looking for a data eraser tool, you will find many free and paid tools available on the internet. Though free data eraser tools serve the purpose, they offer limited capabilities when compared to paid tools. In this blog, we will be looking at the differences between free and paid data eraser software.<\/p>\n

Free vs Paid Data Eraser Software<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Here is a comparison between free and paid data eraser software on the basis of some key factors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Parameter<\/strong><\/td>\nFree Data Eraser Tool<\/strong><\/td>\nPaid Data Eraser Tool (BitRaser)<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Complete Data Eraser<\/strong><\/td>\nFree tool may fail to perform complete data erasure. Moreover, free tools like DBAN don\u2019t follow global data erasure standards or NIST guidelines for media sanitization.<\/td>\nBitRaser performs permanent data erasure without leaving any traces behind. It follows 24 international data erasure standards, like NIST, DoD, etc. It is tested by NIST and other global bodies for its wiping efficacy.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Effectiveness<\/strong><\/td>\nFree tools may fail to detect and wipe hidden areas, like HPA or DCO on the disks.<\/td>\nBitRaser data eraser tool permanently deletes data from the hidden areas and remapped sectors on hard drives and SSDs.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Detailed Erasure Report<\/strong><\/td>\nFree data eraser tools don\u2019t generate any report or certificate of data erasure.<\/td>\nBitRaser generates a comprehensive report of data erasure. It also allows customizing the report with your company logo.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Data Wiping Certification<\/strong><\/td>\nA free tool provides only a single message that states data erasure is done.<\/td>\nBitRaser generates a tamper-proof certificate that can be downloaded in PDF format for audit trails.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Precision<\/strong><\/td>\nFree tools lack precision and accuracy.<\/td>\nBitRaser wipes data from storage devices beyond the scope of recovery.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Functionality<\/strong><\/td>\nFree tools don\u2019t have the features or functionality to erase RAID servers or diagnose drive health. Moreover, they don\u2019t support HexViewer to verify data wiping on disk sectors.<\/td>\nBitRaser erases data from RAID servers and also diagnoses the health of the drive. It also supports HexViewer to verify data wiping on disk sectors.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Customer Support<\/strong><\/td>\nFree tools don\u2019t come with any customer support.<\/td>\nBitRaser comes with 24X5 customer support.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
