Does NOT work with exFAT file system
I've used East-tec Eraser for about 15 years and have had very few problems with it until now. Recently I bought an SSD external hard drive with the exFAT file system. The drive got totally messed up when I tried to delete and overwrite ("erase") individual files and folders on it. Their support people suggested a ridiculous solution which was bound to fail - as it did - and now they don't seem to want to spend more time on me. I finally had to format the drive and change the file system to NTSF before East-tec Eraser worked again - of course losing all my data on the drive to get to that point, then re-copy everything from my old HDD external hard drive. I'm mainly writing this review to warn others that East-tec Eraser won't work properly with exFAT, and to strongly critisize the company for falsely claiming on their website that it will. The company behind East-Tec Eraser charges you a hefty amount every 12 months for access to updates, and that being the case, they should abstain from misleading and therefore in most countries illegal marketing! This sin may well lead to unpleasant consequences for them...
