i know a guy that does data recovery stuff and computer/network security for a living... to incriminate people and to help recover lost files... he said his group of people were able to recover data from a fire damaged drive... and from drives formated 10+ times...he said the only way to truly destroy ALL of what was on the drive is to physically destroy the platters beyond recognition...
but the more you format and overwrite files the lower the recovery rate is...if all you do is a quick format then they can get a 100% recovery... but if youve formatted and over written they can only get like 50%
