[QUOTE="Head_Unit, post: 1000325, member: 135495"] From what I had researched, in a Unix environment the trash is not so easy to recover, and "secure trash" very difficult. I don't know about for the NSA, but for any normal buyer. So you can do an overwrite but maybe not so necessary. If that's incorrect, I'd like to know... Or, you could just swap for a new HD and keep the original as a backup. [/QUOTE]
