Proper HDD clear process? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] titey@lemmy.home.titey.net 22 points 11 months ago (7 children)

Usually, I use shred:

shred -vfz -n 2 /dev/device-name
  • -v: verbose mode
  • -f: forces the write permissions if missing
  • -z: zeroes the disk in the final pass
  • -n 2: 2 passes w/ random data
