I've got a small collection of old HDDs sitting around, and I am considering selling a few of them. Before I do, I'd like to perform a secure wipe on these drives so that whoever ends up with them can't easily recover any personal information. I would run DBAN, but we're talking about half a dozen drives or so here, and I would prefer not to give up my PC for as many days as it would take DBAN to clean them all.

Can anyone recommend a good program for wiping HDDs in Windows? The drives will be connected via USB, and I would prefer a program that could do something more secure than just writing zeros. Thank you for your help.
