Did everything I needed it to do

I wiped 7 hard drives with this software over the course of a few days and had very few issues. I did both desktop and laptop drives that had almost everything from Windows 95 to Vista. I wiped all the drives I had laying around since the 90's. The most challenging part of it was to build an old PC that the old IDE drives could be mounted in since I didn't want to buy some kind of external drive caddy.
There were really only two issues that I had with this software. One - that you have to reinstall the software every time you want to wipe a drive. What I wanted to do was install it on a pc (Drive C# and then keep putting in the drives I wanted to wipe as secondary drives #Drive D) wipe them all and then wipe the C drive last. Unfortunately you have to have the drives physically installed then re-install the software every time you changed the drives rather than just launch the software and it detects the drives at the launch. Two - the other issue is that you have to be careful if you use it to wipe secondary drives that you choose the right drive to tell it to wipe. Understandably WipeDrive 6 sees the drives as Windows sees them, which may not be the way your BIOS sees them. In my case Windows and the BIOS were seeing opposite drives as Drive 0 and Drive 1 which almost led me to wiping out my C drive before I wiped out any of the five D drives, that would have been a big problem. So if you are using it to wipe secondary drives pay close attention and make sure that what you think is the secondary drive is also what WipeDrive and Windows sees as the secondary drive.
What's great about it: Pretty easy to use and it wipes anything
What's not so great: Have to re-install the software for every drive you want to wipe
