  • I would have won that book if I were attending. :(

  • I wonder if it's possible to erase a drive while booted into an operating system that is stored on that same drive.

    I guess it is, hypothetically, because everything the OS needs should be loaded into RAM, but I'm not sure.

  • how many times do I have to wipe ;p lawl

  • @KGhaleon Do you have a link to what you read about the NSA?

  • Is Secure erase still good to use? Is Dban something to avoid? I was just reading that the NSA no longer supports Secure erase. :/

    I have several thousand hard drives to wipe next year that will have to go through security to verify that the data cannot be recovered.
