Thinking of buying a used HDD off ebayIf I do a hard wipe with DiskGenius will that 100% ensure there's no malware slipped in there? What do I do to make sure there's no hidden malware?
>>107716862buy used cable boxes from the salvation army and grab the SSD from that. they are usually 1tb and only used by retarded boomers if you are that paranoid
>>107716996Actual good advice? I think I'll try that.
There is zero filling software out there that can do a whole whack load of passes but most of that is a waste of time. Macrorit data wiper free and pro will do the trick. There is something called killdisk too that you can search for online. It does the same thing. Zero fill the entire drive is usually good enough. You can then do a random pass the next time. There is 35 passes but it takes forever... Blah blah blah. Usually just wiping the entire drive including all partitions will do the trick. Then reformat the drive accordingly. Doing a full check disk to see if any sections of the drive are failing is a good idea to do on used drives also. You may have bought a dud. Better find out now rather than when it fails with all your data on it.
