Reformatting or "F-disking" the drive does not remove the data stored. It simply removes the file markers that allow an end user to rewrite over the drive but it does nothing to destroy the data. This leaves you liable for all the sensitive data that remains on the drive.

MemKing IT Asset Recovery can cost effectively perform thorough data destruction on your hard drives that will meet the stringent standards enforced by the Department of Defense (5220.22M standard) and HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accounting Act standard). MemKing IT Asset Recovery will even generate a Certificate of Destruction for each job received.
