This is why all our company hard drives are encrypted before deployment. Laptops and tablets do get lost and stolen and workstation hard drives "die". Don't have to worry about data loss this way and our cyber-insurer really likes this.
And this is why I dban my drives from time to time before reinstalling an image, and I make a couple of holes before tossing them.
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

And this is why I always take a sledgehammer to old drives and chunk them. Years ago, the state of Georgia here in the US upgraded their Revenue office computers with new equipment. They then sold the old machines with all of the citizen tax data to a used equipment dealer.

From the business point of view... the dealer. From the sarcastic point of view... it is obvious, isn't it?
