Anyone who knows how stuff works.... See, i'm thinking about selling an old 5tb external drive.
BUT, by it's fullness of 4.54tb - 1.19tb is free - i have deleted all the sensitive, backup-files - SO, what i'm wondering is; If i fill it full, to the brim, with MORE movies and series, will all my old files, which i've deleted, not be able to retrieve, seeing as to how they should have been overwritten, in it's ghost-state??
OR; do i really need to NUKE the drive, to be absolutely SURE ABOUT IT?
