Multiple overwriting the entire hard disc
This deletion method overwrites every hard disc sector three times in sequence. First, every
sector is overwritten with “0x00” (1), then with “0xFF” (2) and last with random data (3).

This deletion mode should only be used if sensitive data are to be deleted to use
the hard disc for different purposes, because it is very time-consuming.
The display describes this deletion method as “DoD Erase”, with “DoD” meaning
“U.S.A. Department of Defense”.
