Verify the effectiveness of a disk wipe? That's an interesting question. Never really considered that, but should have. I mean you can do basic things like run Recuva and see what it sees. But we can probably trust that that won't work. But would a good forensic shop get data? Honestly, I bet the only way to test that would be do spot check it by attempting all out recovery on some disks at random that you have done this to.
Drives I am concerned about are shredded after having DBAN ran in autonuke mode.
So I would never deal with paying for this, but this process did make me curious.

I recall reading an article on the effectiveness of disk wipes and apparently it's incredibly effective. That's just hearsay until I find the article but I specifically recall "forensic data experts" being unable to recover anything after a single pass of random 1/0s.

Would not be surprised. If you think about how drives store data, after a pass it would be SO hard to determine what had been there at different points in history.

Working and relaxing, but not too much right now.

@JaredBusch get a dump from the disk and compare it to a backup maybe?
BTW: 0/1/0/1 is not that secure, there may still be magnetic echoes. DBAN is always nice to actually kill something, physical shredding is even better

I decided to default the unit, not realizing that it would do this to the drives.

Anyone seeing site slowness? No way for me to tell from here. Not like crazy slow, just not as fast as usual?

@scottalanmiller nope

Have not noticed it today. I had issues on Monday, but they went away.

@JaredBusch Ah ok, sorry. Still new to ML, need to torture the wheel on the mouse a bit more as it seems.

Leaving the boys alone? Is the fridge filled? Emergency numbers placed next to the phone?

Set up Spacewalk here at home. I think that might be how I manage everything from now on.
