When you zero out the data it can take quite a while. Several passes
takes hours for most hard drives. I was wondering if it helps the
security aspect to change the partitioning scheme in Disk Utility. One
could partition in Guid then Apple Partition Map then MBR in less than a
minute. But does it make any difference in the ability for others to
extract data off the hard drive? If not, is there another way of
quickly making a hard drive difficult to read without zeroing out data?
Sledge hammer?
A set of Torx drivers and some sand paper will do just fine.
Not as satisfying.
But be sure to wear eye protection, though!
