At the end you say economably viable and I would not bother but others do just because they can. i think you read it wrong... it's just a warning that you should be very sure before you do a secure wipe, because it is very near imposable to get data back after you push the button. |

The system allows a clean new install subsequentally. and this is fine if you are just re-using the disk for yourself. but if you are giving / selling the disk to some else, then I would look at doing a secure wipe first. |
