[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1681663, member: 175845"] I'd agree with what you found and discovered with DW and CCC, and a Finder copy, from my own experiences. For the "zero out" formatting option, have a look here: [url]http://www.macworld.com/article/1141358/securely_wipe_hard_drive.html[/url] and close by here: [url]http://www.mac-forums.com/os-x-operating-system/319844-disk-utility-zero-data-yosemite.html[/url] PS: a zero-out or one pass security write/wipe is basically doing the same thing. And don't even think of or bother or doing an absurd 7 pass, that's just super overkill and there for the government paranoid folks!!! ;) [/QUOTE]
