[QUOTE="BoraMurdar, post: 821032, member: 2291"] Just to update you guys with info some may find useful. I bought new external HDD and wanted to wipe the old one entirely. Booted to Strelec Boot PE and erased the disk with Active KillDisk 1pass fill with zeroes with verification on 10% of the disk. Process took around 3 hours (320GB HDD). No recovery software could find anything on it (O&O, Recuva, MiniTool, RStudio, EaseUS, GetDataBack...) It took me full day to complete all the tasks. [/QUOTE]
