disk_wiper

a disk wiper since shred is "lentoinculo" on some machines

features:

• checks if disk has errors, in that case instructs you to phisically destroy it
• checks if disk is an ssd
• differentiate between SAS and SATA to retrieve the correct data
• uses openssl to provide randomness (faster)
• has a nice progress bar for the shredding and zeroing with timing of the current operation

TODO:

• check ATA Secure Erase for SSDs
• needs testing with SATA drives
• needs testing with broken SATA drives
