Actually, I'd suspect the 'government standard' is a myth.  As far as I

know, I've

never been able to find ANY hard reference to a standard for wiping a drive,

other than 'second/third' or a 'friend of a friend said that' kind of thing.


Yes, I've heard the '7-wipes with alternate data' thing.  But I've never

seen

it where it could be formally referenced.  Just hearsay.
