I recently purchased a 2 TB hard drive, but at the moment only 20 percent of its space is in use. It takes a lot of time to get this drive wiped. Is there any way to save my time when performing a ‘wipe free space’ task?

BCWipe's Reserved Space Manager significantly cuts the time needed to wipe free space by preserving previously wiped space in a clean state. Once the Reserved Space is created, BCWipe will recognize it the next time the ‘wipe free space’ process is running. Since the wiped data in Reserved Space is considered occupied, it will not get used or "dirty", so that space does not need to be wiped. Less space to wipe results in less time spent on this process.
