   Discontinued

   DBAN was last updated in June 2015 and does not support SSDs (SATA Secure Erase). The official website is now pushing users to use Blancco Drive Eraser, a commercial drive wiping tool.

   Darik's Boot and Nuke vs Eraser Comments

   Negative comment by Guest · Aug 31, 2015

   Eraser overwrites individual files in a live Windows environment while DBAN is a boot-disk that erases volumes/drives. Sure, both erase stuff - but I can't use DBAN like I use eraser.
