Anyway, I've been wiping a 160GB 5400RPM external drive for the past three and half hours and the progress bar is at less than 10%. The details indicates the following:
Files wiped: 13742
Last file wiped: *****
Data written: 17.24 GB
Speed: 1.40 MB / sec
Time elapsed: 03
This is taking far too long. Is this module just not up to par? Am I doing something wrong? Am I being too impatient? Any suggestions on another program? The following are my system specs:
Core 2 Duo 2.2Ghz
2 gigs of memory
Vista Business
