[QUOTE="Dysfunction, post: 831704, member: 51052"] After about 7 passes the chances of it being recovered are rapidly diminished. At 35 it's going to be very difficult and someone would have to have very high end equipment and be determined to do so. That being said, DOD standard is to do the multi-pass erase then physically destroy the disk. There are shredders made specifically for the task ;) BTW the multiple passes overwrite in 0 and 1 patterns, multiple different patterns each time. [/QUOTE]
