Well,
Coworker @ I tested DBAN today, and it worked great, took about 15 minutes to do the Quick Format on a 8 gig drive. :D :D Coworker told me that computer wouldn't boot w/o an OS CD. As we get more boxes, I believe the plan is to try the other options to get an idea of length of time to run the app and find which option to use for our purposes.

Low Level format FTW- writes a 0 to all locations on the drive.
