PowerKey’s Wipe Wizard works due to established standards (RFC). Restoring original data after it has been wiped is impossible. Usually number of passes can be set to 5 as it provides high speed and reliability. However if large files are wiped (>500Mb) it is better to set number of passes to >5, only note that it may require certain time to process such big file(s).
