So i'm upgrading my computer and I want to delete everything off of both of my hard drives (One 500GB and the other 1TB).
I tried Googling how to do so, but I get about 20 different ways on how to do it, so how do I wipe my drives the most efficient way possible?

dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/sda

Do a Hillary Clinton. Use bleach bit.

yes

This is inefficient and insecure.
Find out the low level block size, set that to dd, and use /dev/random

Format the fucking drives you autist

Format, encrypt entire disk
format again.

Done!

A quick erase is fine.

Ha, I remember this being on the news. That playground is less than 5 miles from here.

Admit it

There are hardware solutions...

microwave them

shred -n 1 /dev/sd*

for what is the first format ? a format doesnt overwrite. what data will be encrypted when there is no data cuz all space is unallocated?
u can simply shred /dev/sda

Damn... worst thing I ever done was put ketchup packs under the toilet seats.

Those razor blades would have done much more damage than that

That's actually why I did it lol

Kill yourself, fucktard.

I don't keep child porn on my drives, no need for that.

Let thread die in peace now
