More about data security
According to NIST the only acceptable form of data sanitization that fully complies with disposal, clearing or purge security levels are "secure erase" or "degauss” with verification. Unfortunately, degauss destroys the media device and would not restore value, however secure erase would not destroy the device whilst meeting the most stringent of security standards by injecting a binary one or zero in “all” sectors of the drive and allow for reuse.
