About

Redkey USB makes secure data erasure simple and affordable. Start a compatible computer from the reusable USB, select the disks to erase and follow the on-screen guidance before selling, donating, recycling or reusing the equipment. Choose Home for everyday computer erasure, Professional when you need PDF reports documenting the disk, method and result, or Ultimate to also erase supported iPhones, iPads and Android devices and automate repeated jobs with scripts. Pay once and reuse your Redkey on compatible devices, with no subscription or per-erasure fees and lifetime software updates. Each key handles one computer at a time and up to 16 connected disks. Redkey supports many Intel/AMD PCs, Intel-based Macs, HDDs, SATA SSDs and NVMe SSDs. Apple silicon and other ARM computers are unsupported. Windows and internet access are required for activation and updates. Check redkeyusb.com for full compatibility details.

About

The smartmontools package contains two utility programs (smartctl and smartd) to control and monitor storage systems using the self-monitoring, analysis, and reporting technology system built into most modern ATA/SATA, SCSI/SAS and NVMe disks. In many cases, these utilities will provide advanced warning of disk degradation and failure. Smartmontools was originally derived from the Linux ​smartsuite package and actually supports ATA/SATA, SCSI/SAS, and NVMe disks and SCSI/SAS tape devices. It should run on any modern Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Darwin (macOS), Solaris, Windows, Cygwin, OS/2, eComStation or QNX system. Smartmontools can also be run from one of many different live CDs/DVDs.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It should be an easy to use product.... should be, but it is easy to plug in download activate after that nothing but headaches and time wasted
  • Redkey USB is incredibly easy to use, even for someone who's not super tech-savvy. The interface is straightforward, and it walks you through the steps to wipe your data securely. I love that it meets high standards like NIST 800-88, which gives me peace of mind knowing my data is really gone. The data wipe certificates are a nice touch, especially if you need proof for work or personal records.

Cons

  • It's garbage it shows as up to date and activated on my computer but they keep telling me first it wasn't activated... it was 2nd not up to date reformat try again. I don't have a year to fix their garbage asked for a refund multiple times keep getting the run around
  • The only downside is that you can only wipe one device at a time with each key. This can be a bit time-consuming if you have multiple devices to clean. But I've heard they're working on a new version that will let you wipe several devices at once, so that should help.
