To clean you data off your hard drive, why is several full formats not considered good for all but the NSA to make the data to far down to read?
Its my understanding that the data on a drive is like a layer on a cake with each rewrite adding another layer. So why is a second or third complete hard drive format not considered good enough for sensitive data protection?
Are programs like Spin Rite still able to read or reconstruct the data?
