I'm using shred again today to secure erase an older 2.5 inch HDD with one bad sector. Customer requested that I just erase the data instead of recovering it for him.
#Linux
I am securely erasing a hard drive in a computer that a customer recycled with me:
sudo shred -v -n 1 --random-source=/dev/urandom -z /dev/sda
Did a live boot to Linux Mint and then ran that command to overwrite the data on the drive, securely erasing it.
