Asked By TechWhiz42 On

Hey everyone! I'm planning to return my 5TB Western Digital external hard drive to Costco, but I want to make sure all my data is wiped properly first. I enabled hardware encryption on it with a weak password before copying around 2TB of data. Should I go ahead and use DBAN to wipe it, or is simply formatting the drive and removing the password enough? Any advice would be appreciated!
