Securely erasing storage device

 Shred - overwrite data on a whole device with random bits.

1. Identify the name of the device

        fdisk -l     

 

Disk /dev/sdc: 931,53 GiB, 1000204886016 bytes, 1953525168 sectors
Disk model: SAMSUNG HD103SJ
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes 

 

2.  Execute command::

                 

    sudo shred -v -n1 -z /dev/sdX

 

    -v flag is verbose and will print  the current progress

    -n1 overwrite blocks on the device "n1" times

    -z set all bits to zero after the last iteration
