Hi everyone, I want to completely erase my hard drive and reinstall Lion. I'm a bit confused about the 1 pass, 3 pass, or the 7 pass? i would like to know the speed each one would take.
My specs:
Macbook pro 17"
Core i7 2.66Ghz
8gb ram
512gb solid state drive
when i went online, someone had a 1tb 5400rpm and did the 1 pass which took 3.5 hours, so with mine at half the space and a solid state drive, maybe about 1 hour each pass?
Thank you
Stefan
