Hello,
So I have a 3tb sata mechanical HDD I would like to wipe. It's connected as a separate drive on my motherboard not through USB. I have wiped the drive using the 3 pass algorithm, however my data recovery program still finds the filenames (although can't seem to recover the files or data itself). I assume it's just pulling info from the MFT and not actual data. But is there any way to overwrite or scramble the MFT? I have used both DiskWipe and Eraser to wipe the drives on Windows 10.
Thanks.
