Re: Fully Erase Hard and Flash Drives

In the event of disposing of hard drives or USB drives, we don't erase them first.  Instead we utilize a service to 
securely have them shredded.

Subject: [SECURITY] Fully Erase Hard and Flash Drives

BHC is looking for a program to erase hard drives and flash drives.  What programs do you recommend to completely wipe 
USB and Hard Drives?  We are currently using an open source program when the need arises but that doesn't erase flash 
drive and Solid State Drives.  Any input would be appreciated!
