Honestly, I think probably the only truly secure way would be destruction.
The government's not gonna tell the public how much they can recover.
Reformatting is not secure at all, no matter how many times you do it.
Most secure-erase programs overwrite data up to 12 times...who knows what they can do. :blink:

1. ZERO FILL program from the hd manuf (only)
2. Zap it with electricity
the governement has nothing to do with this. the US dept of def is re-evaluating their procedure of deleting data merely cos the old thinking of 35 times blowfish (today's standard) can now be recovered.
I still doubt that aside from physical damage (electrical included), your data cannot be recovered.
zero-fill or whatever.
:frusty: I would like to know I can retrive a file from my database that I deleted.
