Paragon Disk Wiper 8.5 Special Edition - 4 Free ( Outdated )
Hi friends!
The bad news: this is no THAT HF ( plan A ). We have hunted it for one week and finally we do not publish it ( although we can give you the cached Google page ) . But we also have a …
Good news! Faithfull to our convictions we have finally contacted the software developer and ask him directly if we can publish the tip we have found.
They have answered 3 hours ago (Saturday evening !). Of course they have said NO … But they have appreciated our attitude and the 4 Free community in general.( Thank YOU guys - our active friends ! )
The conclusion? We’ll have that software as 4 Free’s own full legal promotion !
So today we’re telling you about the latest Paragon promotion. Not only because we’ve had it but also because alok , johnnyboyrebel and Mayur notified us about it . Thank you guys!
If you have hesitated to grab the free promotion and to install the heavy ( but great ) Paragon HardDisk Manager 9,5 SE ( containing this wiper ) you can have it separately.
Disk Wiper 8.5 Personal allows you to:
* Completely erase a whole hard disk, a separate partition or just clean free space.
* Irreversibly destroy all on-disk data easily and quickly, so as it cannot be recovered with any present-day technology.
What, another eraser ?! Yes, but a very professional tool coming from Paragon.
Of course there is the taugh competition from the qualitative O&O Safe Erase 3 - also a free promotion , but if you take a closer look at Paragon Disk Wiper 8,5 ( $ 29,95 ) you’ll see a more complex software, more like a professional tool. ( although simpler is frequently better; O&O softwares have this advantage )
Remember an eraser is a tool you’ll use very infrequently, but it could prove invaluable if you want to make sure a partition or entire drive is completely wiped and contents are irradiated.
.

Key benefits and features
- User friendly interface. Easily understood icons accompany all functions of the program.
- Previewing the resulting layout of hard disks before actually executing operations (so-called virtual operations).
- Support of major national government and military data erasure standards as well as the possibility to create a customized algorithm.
- Wipe Wizard that enables to successfully destroy all on-disk information including standard bootstrap code and other system service structures, thus providing high level of security, and that even beginners may understand.
- Wiping Media Builder that helps the user to create bootable media with the DOS-based version of the program to boot from and destroy all on-disk information even when the current operating system cannot boot anymore. The DOS-based version can boast the same interface as the Windows version does, providing a unique possibility to enjoy XP-like environment and functionality under DOS.
- Clear Free Space function to destroy any remnants of deleted files/directories left on disk without affecting the used data.
- Schedule the operation. The user can set a convenient time for the program to perform the operation automatically.
- Basic functions for initializing, partitioning and formatting hard disks. Instead of the standard Windows disk tools, the program supports all file systems.
- Shutdown After Apply function enables to set the computer to automatically switch off on the successful accomplishment of any scheduled operation.
Full FeaturesWipe operations
* Wipe a partition

* New Paragon developed algorithm
* Your own customized wiping method (extreme customization option - 4 wiping patterns with up to 99 passes each)
* Integrate report on the accomplished wipe operation with possibility to print it out or save locally
* View sectors on existing partitions for getting information on the current state of sectors to check whether the wipe operation has been successfully accomplished or not
* Logging of bad blocks (corrupted sectors) discovered during the operation to keep the user informed, since these sectors may contain classified information
Hard disk partitioning operations
* Сheck File System Integrity
* Create, format and delete partitions

Easy to use

* Build up bootable wiping media with the DOS-based version of the program to boot from and destroy all on-disk information even when the current operating system cannot boot anymore
* Operations usually not possible under Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 will be automatically performed in a special mode during OS reboot with a New easy-to-use GRAPHICAL user interface
Auxiliary utilities
* Burn any ISO image with the help of the Wiping Media Builder
.
As usual the differences to the “normal” edition are ( this is what you don’t get ) :
- Free Updates
- Technical Support
.

Hi Chris!
And if you have Paragon HDM 9,5 , you already have this tool as a component of the Suite.
Cheers !
Thanks. Could be useful to me as I’m constantly doing stuff with either my own or other peoples HDD’s. I Suspect the majority of people here will have zero use for it tho.

Hi!
… We’ve said it!
But if one have Hard Disk Manager, this is useless…
Anyhow, Paragon is a top-notch company offering a wonderful tech-support to its customers (I tried it by my self when I had some questions about how to use some functionnalities).
Coudl we at least know what is the name of this biggest HF we have been waiting for almost 2 weeks and that won’t come ?
(or is it too sensitive toward the developer to disclose the app name ? You know I’m curious…)

Hi Franck !
You already know it.
Sorry to see that your original plan fell through … maybe next time. In the meantime, this offer is still fir a useful, quality product that many people may need. However, I’ll be passing on this one as I already have the Hard Disk Manager 9.5 Special Edition … through 4 Free, of course!

Hi !
I saw that on Raymond’s forum. Let’s say that this trick is going too far.
I generally advise killdisk for this, but there are several other, also free, tools that do the job.

Another great tool from Paragon.
Seeing that the HDM 9,5 promotion is now outdated the newcomers should grab this one.

Hi Guys
Bad luck on HF21 but ‘Every cloud has a silver lining.’
I don’t need this as I was fortunate to have grabbed HDM9.5SE from you,,though for erasing tasks,I tend to use O&O.
Thanks for everyone’s eforts though including alok , johnnyboyrebel and Mayur.

Hi guys!
It’s a shame no techie is giving us a review of this professional looking tool.
I remember there were problems with the defrag from Paragon, although it also looked very professional.
A compairaison with O&O Safe Erase 3 would be great.
Regards !

I got O&O Safe Erase earlier, so I’ll pass this one in spite of my being Paragon’s true follower.

… And I imagine you have HDM 9,5.

Paragon keeps giving serials, but the download link (computeractive.co.uk) is dead now.
Guess it has to be removed from “still available” and to be passed over to “outdated promotions”
No legal solution to bypass the situation, I think.
Just my 2 Cents
