How about if we look at the other side fence regarding data recovery for a moment. Recovering your data is all very well and important when you loose it, but what about if at some point in the future you actually want to loose it?! That might sound crazy but many people throw out computers everyday with all their private or ’secret’ data on the hard drives. Hard drive secret data recovery is a huge security issue not to be ignored and if they knew how easy it was for someone to get a hold of their private and secret data they certainly would think twice before throwing their computer out straight away.

Some people do go as far as to format their hard drives in order to try and prevent someone from recovering their personal secret data but unfortunately because this is usually just a standard high level format it can still be very easy for someone to perform a data recovery method on a hard drive that has been formatted this way and therefore have easy access to all that private secret data.
