Redkey USB Professional Computer Data Wipe Tool. Erases All Your Data. Generate PDF Reports. Customize. Desktop, Laptop, PC & Mac.

I first saw this on Linus Tech Tips and was intrigued so I bought one. For years I have used and still use a Pro Version of Killdisk, but this Redkey is so very simple to use and achieves the same goal which is a great option, especially if you want to take it with you to work on a PC elsewhere. It's easy to use and has many features options. The only con is the neon red screen, it can be overwhelming hense the name "Redkey". I would definitely recommend this if you are looking to clean a hard drive thoroughly. I would say with any product doing this correctly, be patient as it takes hours if you're doing recommended multiple passes.

It does work but if you are being raided by the FBI it will not be done on time. Average time for me is from 2-6 hrs on a 2TB M.2 drive; and that is only a mid level wipe. If you want something like a method that puts random data 5 times and zeros it out 5 more times it will take much longer. Lets not talk about peters algorithm as the moon will crash to the Earth sooner than that wipe will finish [overkill but dont let me tell you how to do it].It works and everyone should get it as it will absolutely insure that no data remains if you sell or get rid of your old drive/ computer.

had high hopes for this product. Read the direction and it did work. did not look or act like the Youtube videos. No screen popped up no leading prompts.

I’m sure it’s my user error, but I was not able to get the product to work for me. I tried it on several laptops that were Microsoft based. I decided not to try it on my old MacBooks. I think it would REALLY REALLY help if redkey published a you tube video showing step by step how to use the product for both Microsoft and Mac products. I was really excited when I found this product but too much time wasted trying to get a reboot to show redkey that could then start working. Disappointed in product and in me.

Eventually I was able to get the key to work. I first had trouble with the activation code. It was printed in bold so that 6's and 8's were difficult to distinguish even with a magnifying glass. (There were no 8's in my code.) Then my HP computer responded only to the Escape key, not a function key to get to the BOOT menu. Finally, once I got the BOOT menu, I had to press the fn key to get any action on the menu. Finding the Redkey/USB entry then was tricky. So, the key worked as stated, but it took a lot of trial and error to find the path to operate the key.

The first computer I used RedKey USB had an unusual disk configuration - it looked like RedKey wouldn't work. I emailed support and quickly got the solution back and the drive was wiped. I like products with great customer support!It works as advertised. It has wiped the two laptops I've tried it on quickly and efficiently.I love my RedKey USB.

I actually bought this months ago, but just now getting around to reviewing it.... If you have multiple old computers that you don't want to throw away because of hacking / ID theft reasons, or you just need to do a data wipe to reinstall the operating system to repair your computer, this is a very important and necessary item. This is actually something that everyone needs to buy!!! Plus it was shipped from The UK by "Royal Mail" ;-)

Does exactly what its 4 and with a cool user interface.
