[QUOTE="BoraMurdar, post: 820326, member: 2291"] Goverments use (at least what I was told in my country) self destructable flash drives to protect the data. HDDs in 90s didn't have so much density like modern ones, so overwritting data on those drives with zeros or ones could be recovered by magnetic force microscopy or Advanced MFM. Equipment for that procedure costs differently, but not less than a 50000$. With modern HDDs and especially flash drives, data securely erased with onepass are really gone. For us mortals. If you are paranoid go with Guttman 35pass and equip yourself with patience. [/QUOTE]
