This new version of HDShredder is based not only on the ideas and many years of experience of the developers, but also on the feedback from the user community. As has been the case for many years, this feedback is an integral part of the development of all Miray products. This means that HDShredder 6 is not only adapted to the latest technical innovations, but also that the usability of the product is tailored to the user. Miray Software relies on a simple, intuitive design and a clear layout in all apps and components.

New and improved security erase apps

In HDShredder 6, all existing apps for secure deletion have been developed from scratch and two completely new apps for deletion with the device standards SecureErase and Sanitize have been added. With these apps, the device-internal deletion mechanisms implemented by the data carriers themselves can be used and controlled, which are available in many newer data carriers.

A particularly popular edition among professional users is the HDShredder Professional Edition Portable, which enables mobile and flexible use of the program. HDShredder 6 Professional Edition Portable can be started on an unlimited number of systems, typically at the respective locations of a technician, using a USB token directly and without prior installation.
