[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1527753, member: 56379"] There are always extremes...and in life there are almost no 100% guarantees to be found. But using Apple Disk Utilities "Secure Erase" feature where up to a 35 pass erase can be performed (where 1's and 0's are randomly written to the HD)...it's a pretty darn good way to insure security for the vast majority of the population. Even with physical deduction of a hard drive...there are certain protocols that must be followed to insure complete destruction. So even with physical destruction of a HD...if it is not physically destructed properly...some data may still be recoverable. - Nick [/QUOTE]
