Magnets haven't worked since the 90s. The magnetic force required to corrupt the data on a hard drive is basically equivalent to a quasar.

@CyberCPU Tech, In the past, I have used DISKPART and the "clean all" command to securely erasing data before recycling SATA hard drives. My understanding is that the "clean all" command in DISKPART write zeros to each and every sector on the disk, which completely deletes all data on the disk making it unrecoverable. Do you find this method secure enough?

How much difference does it make in reality if I wipe my disk 1 pass or 8 passes like some suggest? What are the cases where after 1 pass of random data wipe of entire disk, something can still be restored?

You would need a USB. Both of these methods completely destroy everything on the drive. Including the OS.

Probably a stupid question - does executing the windows reset process work?
@tech_hub553 ай бұрын
if you mean the factory reset that you can do through the defualt setting apps on windows, the answer is no. People can still recover your data. What this guy is doing in this video is: 1. wiping your data, including the OS 2. writing random data on your harddrive. these two steps corrupts and destory any data that was saved on the harddrive. Please note that if you delete a file then the file is still on the harddrive, that's why it can be recovered. But if you save new data (just like he is doing in this video) if u save new data, then the old data will be wiped out or atleast corrupted.

I just sold my pc, I did a factory reset and also removed the hardrive before selling the pc, all the data on the computer I sold should be clear huh. I know the drive still may have data but I’m not concerned as I’m keeping that.
@jimdavis683310 ай бұрын
Here we are a year later, and nobody has answered you, so here goes. The only thing on a PC that stores data is an HDD or SSD. If you removed them, then you have successfully left nothing on that PC for anyone to get. The RAM (memory) only holds data as long as the PC has power. Nothing else in the PC has the capability to store your data.

Unless you lowlevel format a hard drive, or use the secure wipe option in Mac OS X to do a one pass wipe by writing zeros to the drive you are not going to delete all your data permanently.

If you are physically destroying a drive just to make it unrecoverable then you are a very very bad person! Just use the method he is showing.
@TheHellKnight5 ай бұрын
Untrue. I worked for a computer repair company and we regularly had customers (particularly government and elderly) who would request physical destruction of their hard drives. Also, even with as advanced as cyberforensics is these days, once a hard drives discs are destroyed, there is absolutely no way even the most committed tweaker would be able to piece and bond it back together. While the data may still be stored on the fractures the disk has to be whole in order to read.
