Description

Redkey USB is a reusable bootable stick for wiping supported disks before a PC is sold, donated, recycled or reused. Boot from the stick, pick the disks, and follow the on-screen steps. Home covers everyday computer erasure. Professional adds PDF reports that record the disk, method and result, plus extra disk controls. Ultimate builds on Professional with supported iPhone, iPad and Android erasure, plus scripting for repeat jobs. Buy once, reuse on compatible devices, with no subscription or per-wipe fees and lifetime software updates. One key works on one computer at a time (up to 16 attached disks). Many Intel/AMD PCs and Intel-based Macs are in scope; Apple silicon and other ARM machines are not. Activation and updates need Windows and internet. Full compatibility is on redkeyusb.com.

Description

The smartmontools suite includes two key utilities, smartctl and smartd, designed to manage and oversee storage systems through the self-monitoring, analysis, and reporting technology integrated into the majority of contemporary ATA/SATA, SCSI/SAS, and NVMe drives. These tools often alert users to potential disk degradation and failure before they occur, offering invaluable preventative measures. Originally based on the Linux smartsuite package, smartmontools is compatible with ATA/SATA, SCSI/SAS, and NVMe drives, as well as SCSI/SAS tape devices. It is versatile enough to operate on a wide range of platforms, including modern versions of Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Darwin (macOS), Solaris, Windows, Cygwin, OS/2, eComStation, and QNX. Additionally, smartmontools can also be utilized from various live CDs/DVDs, enhancing its accessibility for users who may need it in different environments. This broad compatibility makes it a valuable tool for anyone looking to ensure the health and longevity of their storage systems.
