[QUOTE="NikolayfromRussia, post: 665942, member: 24507"] It is really can be harmful for hdd wiping it for 35 passes. As I told in my previous comment to wipe a 500 Gb hdd for 3 passes took me about 4 hours. One more thing to add I am talking about hdd with 7200 rpm if it was 5400 rpm it could take even more time. So, to run 35 passes it will take about 48 hours if I am not wrong. It is a big stress for hdd. After such wash it can be damaged. [/QUOTE]
