Re: Need to wipe some drives - HP-UX

Do you need the disks? Because you could probably use a hammer or some really big magnets a lot faster. The dd should do it, but if someone was highly motivated a single write still leaves enough charge to recover the data - assuming we are talking NSA or somesuch.

Well the idea is to attempt to sell the machine. I know, not a lot of market for it. It's probably worth more in parts. The 12H contains 12 36Gb 10k drives (Seagate Cheetahs around 2 years old) The computer part has 18gb drives and I'm not sure the age.
