DOD Whipe
Department of Defense Data Wiping Standards. A DOD wipe exposes your hard drive to alternating magnetic fields that overwrite your original data with random patterns. A good wipe is 90% unrecoverable, and a DOD wipe is in the number of times the drive is re-written over with random patterns. The more times it is overwritten, the better — but a DOD wipe is obviously longer and more costly. Because they deal with sensitive and top secret information at the Department of Defense, a DOD wipe requires that a hard drive be overwritten seven times to be considered unrecoverable. If you deal with any sort of sensitive information — even as simple as storing financial data on your hard drive — it's worth considering a more extensive data wipe when you convert used computer equipment assets into cash or services.
