Why Use BitRaser File Eraser (Mac) when Disk Utility Secure Wipes The Entire Drive For Free

You wouldn’t always want to wipe the entire drive volume. In fact mostly, you need to get rid of a few confidential and sensitive files beyond the scope of recovery.

The key difference between the two utilities is that unlike BitRaser File Eraser, Disk Utility can’t secure-erase or wipe individual files and folders on Mac.

Plus, the Disk Utility implements only DoD 5220.22 M data erasure standard while BitRaser File Eraser Mac features 3 International data erasure standards, DoD 5220.22-M (3passes), Zeroes and Pseudo- Random, etc.

With BitRaser File Eraser, you can choose the desired eraser standard to wipe a Mac volume or destroy sensitive files beyond recovery.
