Hello,

if this hard drive is no longer booted in the system, then 2-3 complete runs should usually be sufficient for data destruction.

I have already answered this question. 2 – 3 times.

Most data destruction tools are already relatively safe in their efficiency during the first complete run. With multiple runs, you only improve the results in the smallest data clips a little more.

If only a little more troubleless “Firlefanz” has ever been stored on the plate, 1-2 runs can already be sufficient. I may see more runs at most if highly sensitive data for online banking, professional home office with company / or personal data, etc. was stored.

If you want to overwrite the entire volume (the entire storage capacity of the drive), you should have the relevant drive for the “Cipher” command. best de- / and repartition, and then re-examine. (in particular, if there were several volumes / partitions on the drive beforehand).

This would have to be implemented under Windows via the “data carrier management”.
