DBAN wipes multiple drives in parallel, but doing it in a VM allows for the computer to continue being used instead of being tied up for days, and it also ensures DBAN can only see the drives you want to wipe, so it helps prevent mistakes. What I ended up doing is setting up a VM with DBAN and assigning the drives I wanted to wipe to the VM. To anyone looking to do multiple drives that happens to read this: as I said, I tried several programs, and none of them will do it except one, which you have to buy. Please refer to the detailed guide to make good use of MacClean. You can choose an erasure mode on MacClean (Standard Erase, Safe Erase or Top Security Erase) to clean these files securely. To the devs, in case you read this: don't use a forum for support then not let people post in it (shouldn't need to be said, but there it is). File Eraser option enables you to remove outdated or off-line files that may leak your privacies. I signed up on the forum to inquire about it, but then couldn't post, so that was a massive waste of time. I see no good reason why that shouldn't be possible, and searching the forums it seemed the dev intended to add it in v6, but that was years ago and it's now on v6.2. being able to wipe multiple drives simultaneously. The only thing I don't like about it is the lack of parallelization, i.e.
#FILE ERASER FOR MAC FREE#
Of them, one or two would probably be suitable replacements for this one if it were to stop working, but I would say Eraser is probably the best interface and it's free, portable, and can do files, free space, and entire drives. I tried several others, and they ranged from horrible to ok. As some others have mentioned (complained about), it does take a long time, but that's just the nature of what it's doing, and all programs are going to be slow if they're not, they're not doing a good job. It did randomly quit the other day in the middle of a job, which I luckily checked on it and noticed, though I'm not sure if that was Eraser's or Windows' fault. Decent program that does the job with minimal fuss.
