- maxerickson 11y agoI wonder if it then makes sense to write 0s as part of a permanent deletion process. No ambiguity about remaining content or intent when you do that.
- mjevans 11y agoI frequently, but DO NOT ALWAYS, do this when I am erasing hard drives. When I do this it is more of a flag to remind my self that I have, in fact, finished scrubbing the device.
- DanBC 11y agoUsing pseudorandom data is pointless. If overwriting with 0s isn't enough you should be physically shredding the drives.
- dTal 11y agoQuite the reverse - you should always overwrite with random data so you have plausible deniability.
