[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1542839"] A single-pass "zero out" is a good option for the paranoid (I don't mean this unkindly) and only takes a couple of hours on most drives. The 7-pass and 35-pass is completely unnecessary unless your last name is Snowden or something and takes FOREVER. It's total overkill. [/QUOTE]
