i thing this solution is not good. Because original datas to be deleten without encrypt.

i need simple, fast solution to absolute erasing of datas I can't follow what part is not working and how it fails, but can you explain what kind of secure erasure you need and on what kind of drive? Do you need military level erasing of data from each sector on the drive? Is it a flash drive? I us...
