Why Shred?

  • Many of the programs available for formatting a hard drive do not completely erase the data from the drive.
  • The software used leaves traces of data or just deleting the directories leaves whole blocks of information behind.
  • If the platter is left in tack that data could be accessed.
  • There is also the threat of someone using reconstruction software on your old hard drive. Software that will recover and restore any data left behind on a computers hard drive.
