[QUOTE="ferraristef, post: 1322981, member: 153719"] 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 [B]512gb solid state drive[/B] 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 [/QUOTE]
