Thank you for the replies. They've answered my questions comprehensively.

Thanks for the reply but I'm sorry - I don't understand... Are you saying that by using the drive wiper it will decrease the life expectancy of the hard drive or it decreases the chances of the hdd failing by wiping free space? As you can tell, tech of any type is not my strength so please excuse me if I'm not getting the obvious.

Hi. First and foremost, thank you Piriform for providing such a great product with the option of it being free. When using the drive wiper is the option to have 35 passes <equal to> 1 (Simple Pass) x 35 times run? I ask as a 35 pass is estimated to take 2 days, so would prefer to break in down to shorter 90 minute sessions. Hope that makes sense and thanks.
