    Darik's Boot and Nuke vs Eraser Comments

    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.

    ErAce is software that will over write the hard drive 1-100 times. So it fullfills the strictest security standards i.e. DOD 5220.22-M. In that way it is impossible to recover data.
