Looks like the best source for disk tools is the Ultimate Boot CD. It's got working
- SEATools (V 1.12 txt and 2.23 GUI version)
- WD DataLifeguard Diag 4.15 (Older drives) and 5.20 (bigger than 8.4 GB)
- HDDErase 3.3 and 4.0
And many more...
Note – the Windows version of WD utilities does show hours run, the DOS version does not.
Info:
HDDerase 3.3 required for SSD's
