| the dd will take several hours on an 18 gb drive, probably 7 hours plus depending on the speed of the drive. but it will hit ever sector and even one pass will be quite secure. if there is really important info on the drive, you could always set up a little shell script and do it 7 times, alternating between /dev/zero and /dev/random. that would meet US federal guidelines for wiping a drive. not even the nsa would be able to recover it. just let it run over the weekend, should be finished by monday morning. |
