Publisher's Description
From Disk Wipe:
Disk Wipe is Free, portable Windows application for permanent volume data destruction. With Disk Wipe you can erase all disk data and prevent recovery of those data. Formatting a hard drive with regular method leaves an open possibility to recover the data back. Many companies and users who just dumped their old hard drives in rubbish had found this the hard way. Disk Wipe solves this problem efficiently, using algorithms which fill the volume with useless rubbish binary data multiple times. The possibility of recovering information from drive formatted with Disk Wipe is almost non existent. Disk Wipe is released under GNU - General Public Licence. Disk Wipe is free for personal or commercial use, without any restrictions. Disk Wipe does NOT contain adware or malware! Permanently wipes sensitive data on partitions and disk volumes. Portable, no installation needed. Uses several advanced shredding algorithms (Dod 5220-22.M, US Army, Peter Guttman) to securely wipe data. Supports all popular Windows file systems, NTFS, Fat, Fat32. It uses quick format prior to disk wiping for faster performance. Works with USB sticks, SD cards and other portable memory devices. Small, light, does not contain adware. Respect the privacy of your information, does not try to connect to remote server and does not send any information over Internet.

"It is simple and works"
Version: Disk Wipe 1.7
Pros
No adds - no nonsense
Works as advertised
Downloaded from http://www.diskwipe.org/Cons
Takes long time - but then it does take long time!
Summary
Used it for a 300 GB USB HD - had it running overnight at lowest level. Checked with Recuva from Piriform, which found some tmp files, however, these are all with invalid data. Guess it is because DiskWipe creates a file that fills the entire sector and fills it with 0's.
Forgot: After using DiskWipe, I found out that CCleaner now also includes a diskcleaner feature. DiskWipe may be useful as simple tool when cleaning HDD on a USB stick.

"Useless program"
Version: Disk Wipe 1.7
Pros
Nice interface
Cons
I spent 8 hours securely wiping a 2TB harddisk. When I checked it with Recuva hundreds of files could be recovered successfully. In other words this is a useless pieces of software.

"Does not wipe drives"
Version: Disk Wipe 1.7
Pros
Easy to use GUI
Cons
Does not actually wipe a drive
Summary
Performed a wipe of an IDE drive using a USB bridge. Perform a DoD 3 pass wipe with 0s. I then used forensic tool to examine the hexadecimal data on the drive. The wipe itself only zeroed out the Directory entry portion of the FAT32 drive. It did not zero out the actual data itself. Putting all zeros in the directory portion essentially unallocated the files and directories on the drive, but the data can easily be recovered.
