Re: Wiping USB drives

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



I have a dozen of drives, ranging from 10Gb to 200Gb. I want to
wipe them clean before donating them. I have a IDE/SATA to USB
converter that works. I can see the drives properly.

Depending on the filesystem on the drives, shred may be fine "man shred" can tell you more. You can also use "cat /dev/random > /dev/devicename" as well.
