We think you’ll be pleased with the results! Check out our new V3 campaign and claim your Winter Tech. perk today.

When you delete a picture from a computer, it’s still actually there. The same goes for any other type of file. This means most files & data can easily be recovered from a computer – even after deletion!   

This poses a risk to all computer users, especially when it comes time to sell or recycle used equipment.  Nobody wants someone sifting through their personal life on their old PC. 

Redkey securely wipes the “Hard Drive” inside a computer – making any data recovery impossible. The end result is a clean computer – ready for safe sale or disposal. 

Redkey is specially designed to be easy to use – its been developed with the Computer novice in mind. Just turn on your computer, hit a couple of keys, and let Redkey take care of the rest.

Once loaded, your computer will begin to wipe automatically after a 60 second countdown. There is an optional advanced menu where settings can be adjusted. Basic instructions are supplied.

Redkey is a pay-once product. It provides unlimited use. There are no recurring costs. It does not expire. There are no limits on how many computers you can wipe. Your Redkey must remain attached during use. Uniquely, Redkey is fully updatable online and free software updates are included for the life of the product. Redkey is suitable for both home and business purposes. 

New features for Redkey V3:

Our powerful new “Enhanced Secure Erase” technology acts like an electronic file shredder. Redkey V3 offers a choice of 25 genuine Data wipe standards in use by Military & Defense organizations worldwide. Redkey had been scientifically proven (Certified) to erase all user data from HDD’s and SSD’s.

Redkey is now faster. With our latest technology advancements, some newer computers can now be securely wiped within minutes or even seconds. Be sure to back up any data you wish to keep before using your Redkey – it’s a powerful tool. 

Our new “HEX viewer” is like having your own built-in mini forensics lab. This exciting new feature allows you to visually inspect your hard drive data before & after a data wipe and compare results. It’s now possible to double-check with your own eyes that a data wipe has been successful.

For home edition users, a brief on-screen data wipe report is presented at the end of the wipe process. Pro & Ultimate edition users may view an enhanced on-screen data wipe report and save this as a PDF file – known as a “certificate of data sanitization.” Reports can be saved either on the Redkey or another USB drive. Your PDFs report can then of course be stored, printed, or emailed. View and download a sample Certificate of Data Erasure here. 

Redkey now supports many different types of hard drives including HDD, SSD, USB, NVME, M.2, PCIe & eMMC. This means Redkey V3 can wipe many of the latest personal computers on the market as well as older ones dating back for the last 15 years or so.

Improved V3 user interface:

The Redkey V3 user interface has been substantially improved over its predecessor software. Graphics are now sharper. Several new design ‘themes’ may now be selected from within our new media menu.

Pleasant screensavers with a nature-theme are displayed automatically during the data wipe process. Watch as these images magically fade away in a block pattern to simulate data being wiped. A video simulation of our screensaver can be found here. Pro or Ultimate user? Import your own custom JPG images and MP3 audio to replace the default screensaver pictures & music.  

Audio effects further improve the V3 user experience. Click here to listen (soundboard) to a few of the new sound effects and extracts of the music we’ve incorporated. Music is active when screensaver images are displayed. 

A new Matrix-style Data Wiped screen appears when the wipe process is complete along with some cool completion music! A signal beacon sound then signals every several minutes to remind you that the data wipe is complete. All audio-visual options may be muted, volume adjusted, or even disabled permanently if required.  

Although brief user instructions are supplied, we are currently working on a more detailed instruction manual for free download. Redkey will also have a built in help feature too which is nearing completion.
