ZeDoTelhado@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoI am also inclining in this direction. I just ordered a new 8tb drive, and will proceed with smart long tests. When you tall about secure erase, are we talking using dd with /Dev/null?

I’m suggesting either using the secure erase utility built into your efi if available or using hdparm and calling secure erase.

I suggest calling these utilities with no other drives connected.
