Hello!
I exchanged my hdd and want to sell it, so i want to completely secure-delete the drive.
Now ive got 2 options:
a) Eraser: I format the drive, start a 2-time pseudorandom data pass and reformat it!
b) I use DBAN for a 2-time pseudorandom data pass!
The first option has the advantage that I could use my PC while the data-shredding is made.
Is there any difference between those 2 options (security). Should I use the b) option?
Is a 2-time pseudorandom data pass enough? I really want to be sure that all the data is destroyed, because the hdd had very important data on it!
Thanks
