RE: Even if you delete or format your disk , someone can find your data!
Good post. The thing I don't understand is, say you have a 1TB hard drive. You fill it up to it's maximum and then format it so it's at zero. You then fill it up again using the full 1TB and delete again. Someone can then come along and extract 2TB of information from a 1TB hard drive. How is 2TB stored on a 1TB hard drive? I have seen this done as far back as 3 formats. How is this information being stored and can we not use this method to create larger storage?
You have 1 TB, if you format and rewrite then your driver will have the new data. No one can extract the previous data.But if you fill your driver and then format it,without rewriting data , the data are not deleted. they are just marked as deleted . So when you give your drive to the other person, with some programs, he can find what data was writen in that place of the driver
