You DO get a lot of "Disk--Writes" when constantly using programs such as "Eraser", you need to keep in mind that the Corporations that these programs were designed for :whistling , were probably replacing there HDD's every 1000 hours .... :blink:

I mean a "Gutmann" pass does 35 wipes, and thats healthy for your HDD?? :lol:
