Scrubbing hard drives

I have a need to scrub 150 hard drives. I know I can use diagnostic tools from drive manufacturers to write zeroes to the sectors; I know I can do this multiple times on a drive and feel relatively safe that your 'average joe' will not be able to extract any data from the drives once the drives change possesion.

Is there an easier way to scrub hard drive? Is it possible to scrub one drive, then "clone" the state of that drive to the other drives?

I am open to suggestions. Thanks!
 
go to download.com and search for bcwipe

it rewrites to the whole drive with data 7 times. making it VERY difficult to recover data from. much better than a low level format writing all 0s.

It actually rewrites the drive seven times in one session? That would be nice!

I'll take a look at it. Thanks!
 
not one session.. it takes quite awhile to do if you have a large drive. i had about 200GB free and it took all weekend to do. you can also install it so whenever you delete something or erase the recycle bin, it'll do a quick wipe on it. also does the MFT and pagefile. it rules you! 🙂
