wipe apps

hey /tech/

I need a wipe utility (free or open source of some sort) other than DBAN that does the PRNG Streams.

DBAN doesn't work on this model unless I want to wipe at 1000KB/s which is a bit much on a 160GB drive... Also I have hundreds of these machines to wipe.

Something Win PE or Barts PE based. It's just Linux that seems to have a problem with this Intel 915 chipset or whatever the problem really is.

So any suggestions?


(posted in /g/ as well but nothing but fail there)

wiping the entire drives?  Use the SECURE ERASRE ata commands built in, quicker than DBAN and (theoretically) a tiny bit more secure.

yeah we wipe the drive and then they get shipped out to other people/places/etc.  it's for end of life computers.
