Safe way of completely wiping a HDD. With no harm to drive
Go to solution
Solved by Syntaxvgm,
Formatting it, but not a quick format. A proper format writes all zeros, a quick just deletes file system data.
To go further, and prevent the possibility of forensic tools recovering it, us Dban to write random data on it, the more passes the more secure.
Both solutions make the drive do a lot of writing, dban being more stressful to the drive with a lot of passes.
