Gamers Nexus: "As part of GN's first 'officially unofficial' Hard Drive Week, we're ready to talk about file deletion and recovery! I previously mentioned in the "how to recover a deleted document" guide that recovering files is exceedingly easy provided the hard drive hasn't yet overwritten the territory previously occupied by the content. Why, though, does deleting a file leave it recoverable? This quick guide walks through the logic of how file deletion works in Windows."
Save a ton of money - and storage - thanks to this 1TB SSD deal that marks the start of Amazon's latest Gaming Week promotion.
The ASUS ProArt Display PA32KCX is on the way - a brand-new 8K monitor designed for professionals, including DisplayPort 2.1 connectivity.
And, for once, some of what it can do looks genuinely useful.
Knew some of this. But interesting none the less
Its crazy just how recoverable deleted files are.
If the fbi ever raided any of us we would be in trouble
If you really want to delete a file?. Do as the picture shows. Shatter everything. Good stress release too.
I use the same deletion protocol the US. Government use to get the job done.
nothing to hide but it seems there are more and more people out there willing to sniff through an other persons personal data. That actually bothers me.
Secure delete in accordance with U.S. government guideline: Files are overwritten multiple times with specific data patterns before deletion (standard procedure of the U.S. Department of Defense)
Secure delete in accordance with the Gutmann method: The data to be deleted is overwritten in 35 stages, with random values in accordance to a special pattern, before being deleted (per Peter Gutmann).
