Looking for some help to ensure Eraser has fully wiped out as a IT forensics audit will happen on my drive

[DemonSlayer]

Hello All,

I am not an expert in this, but I wanted to confirm, I have an external SSD hard drive I want to delete all data from would be fully deleted without any traces of COPYING (From this external to another external) or TRACE of original data are on it. I deleted everything on my own and ran the "Erase Method" 'Default' and "Target Type" 'Drive Partition'.

This drive will be sent in for some Drive forensics and I want to be sure that its completely wiped without trace. There is some financial implications tied to anything they find. I want to be sure its fully erased / wiped to avoid any issues.

Calling on the experts, Can someone help me with this?

Thanks,

Another method is to format the drive, run a freespace erase and format again.
This will wipe any ghost entries in the directory tables
