As to the disks, one of my day-to-day jobs was erasing them - four passes with blanking software. I did it to everything from SGI SCSI HDs down to dinky little 3gb IDE drives.
That sure doesn't sound like the glamorous NASA job that I envisionsed!
I'd rather give them four passes with a rocket assisted sledge hammer or a pocket particle accellerator. :flame:
