"Not worth the time"
Version: Active@ Kill Disk - Hard Drive Eraser 5.5
Pros
Nothing good to say.
Cons
The free version did not work. Why pay for the same experience?
-
"Terrible software"
Version: Active@ Kill Disk - Hard Drive Eraser 5.5
Pros
Nothing to be good.
Cons
Failed at the first try!
Summary
Erased my extra drive but also corrupted my C drive to the point I couldn't boot up any more and have reinstalled a new OS. Wasted my 5 hours time. User beware! If you are going to use it, remember to back up your drive and all data first. Otherwise, it will end up just like me.

"Good tool to have"
Version: Active@ Kill Disk - Hard Drive Eraser 5.5
Pros
As advertized, it will wipe out a hard drive (really fast)
It's good for wiping your drive completely when de-commissioning old computer equipment before disposal.Cons
Once the process begins, it cannot be rolled back. Stopping it will only leave your hard drive unrecoverable without a low-level reformat.
Make a mistake with this software, and you will regret it.Summary
Works as advertized, but use with caution!

"Blue Screen of Death the very second I clicked 'format'"
Version: Active@ Kill Disk - Hard Drive Eraser 5.5
Pros
Second run was okay.
Cons
Lousy out of the box experience with PC booting itself just as the 'kill' process started.
Summary
Use other programs who do the same.
