One way to disable the popup, is to go to Windows Task Manager, then to startup tab and disable iCloud app. Then the service won't start during Windows boot process.

Nothing wrong with the link despite the minor typo. :wink:

I use a QNAP TS-451+ and OneDrive alongside a couple of USB drives, for backups. This works really well for me.

No need. If you already ran DBAN, then you are good to go. All the newer software uses same algorithms and only fix bugs and add more compabitility for newer hardware.

I must have missed it. Sorry.

TRIM only marks blocks to be free for writing. Its purpose is to save on wear and tear and improve speed on the SSD. No data will actually be overwritten. The issue with SSDs is that the bits and bobs dont last so many write cycles, and it is also slow to completely erase data securely, this is...

If you need the latest ( also with SSD support) use nwipe, which is essentially DBAN/blancco but it's still maintained and is part of mainline Linux distributions. Everything is the same except it's updated to support latest hardware. If you need a bootable thumbdrive, then use ShredOS, which...

I agree with @spapakons on this one. Also DBAN was the question here. It's secure enough, no matter which method is used in this case. cipher.exe is not the tool in any shape or form for the job in this modern day.

Forget partitions...a full disk wipe will not contain any partitions of any kind. It is pure sector per sector writes. There are no gaps anywhere. Every single bit will be overwritten.

Depends who you ask. It would have cost me 8000€ to just send over my broken HDD with physical damage on the platters to a forensics company and all they would have done, was assess the situation, give an estimate of cost and how much data could be possibly recovered. The actual recovery job...

Yeah, I'd stick it in a furnace and recover all the metals from it to create something new. That's the only 100% sure way to get the data destroyed. Unless the data is worth millions, a couple of secure sector by sector wipe passes will do the trick.

Adding or removing partitions has nothing to do with wiping a HDD. A sector by sector 3-5x or more wipe with completely random data will wipe EVERYTHING on the HDD, including any possible MFT. Not even the most advanced chemistry tools can recover that.

As stated, I would not recommend running IP builds on your main machine. One workaround though, is to install them as bootable virtual disks. Then edit your boot menu so you can load these builds whenever you want to test something. This is for more advanced users, but there are plenty of...

Because I know the file hashes, I ended up grabbing the actual files from a 3rd party portal and verified their integrity. It was 2 clicks per file (Win & Lnx)
