Disk wipe software6/19/2023 ![]() ![]() many times it's just older, and i think they could just wipe the system, and maybe reload the oem OS, or put linux on it and donate it to a school or something that could use. I have seen many places before they even decommission something pull the drives, an a working system just needs a drive. Also should i trust some program E.G DBAN to erase everything at lest enough that the only original stuff may be a few meaningless bits. ![]() I'm curious, as to why you'd use like 3 pass over one, when one is basically the same thing. Unless the platter coating has like many layers, or there can be residual background fields from original data. I don't see how once you filled it once how doing again could make it any more secure. I had a teacher in college, and knew some people in I.T they were like one pass is good. I also don't see how a program that just fills a drive with 0's or meaningless bits would not be any worse, i could see being better if anything.Īlso i have seen various standards, programs do from just one to like 7 passes. E.G in theory i could have made holes in it, somebody grabs it out of trash, takes to recovery company, they could get like 80% or more of the data except what was made for holes. I'm curious though why would you use some physical destruction instead of software. ![]() The one tech told me to take some old drives, and throw them in a box for their maintenance dept to drill holes in. I was at work the other day place i'm still pretty new to working at.
