Hi,
I have a 40GB HD half empty (or half full if your an optimist!). If i wipe free space using the DoD 7 pass method it takes about 6-7 hours. If I enter a new pattern of 7 passes of pseudorandom data it takes about half this time. I have 2 questions:
1) Why
2) Is the random data pass as secure, less secure or more secure than DoD method?
Thanks.
