The Tableau TDW1 Drive Tool / Drive Wiper is a multi-purpose tool developed for fast, effective erasure of Hard Disk Drive (HDD) data. TDW1 is a key product in the new Tableau Modular Acquisition accessory line.

TDW1 provides fast, secure single or multi-pass drive wiping. Device information (for HDDs, the TDC1 Drive Cooler, and TDW1) is viewable from the integrated LCD. TDW1 detects and defeats HPA / DCO hard drive protected regions. During a wiping operation, progress information, instantaneous and average rates (MB/s and GB/min), elapsed time, and time remaining are displayed on the LCD. All TDW1 functions are accessible using the menu, select, and "arrow" buttons located on the device front panel.
