There are programs to wipe discs but hey,... forensics can unearth a lot what ppl think they have securely erased. To be sure that no one can read the hdd... destroy it. Bring a sledgehammer down on it a couple of times till the discs inside shatter or are completely bent.

Or you know just do a complex overwrite (7 passes will keep the police away from accessing your deleted data, 35passes if you want to be sure even NASA can't restore it)

true that. I wonder how long 4.2tb would take to wipe 7x... (now now, no that isn't all porn...)
I wanted to sell the hdd on ebay. I use it now for storage ^^.

The alternative:

-snickers-

* Get a dedicated porn pc that has no connection to your other system(s).
* Hide it locked away with biometric locks in your basement behind a fake wall bolted to the concrete floor. Thats the way for the paranoid.

Dude if so I would spend more effort hiding my porn than I do to hide my lone British Sovereign  :o

maybe do write/delete cycles?

or on an easier route, just torch the whole hdd and burn it at 3000c :)) i doubt they can gather data from ashes.
