It all depends on how many times you rewrite each sector. The more times
the harder to recover but the more wear you put on the disk. There are a
whole bunch of DOD, NSA, ect standards. If you use a program, they
usually tell you or let you choose what standard to use. I used a free
utility called 'eraser' once. It let you choose the standard and how
many times to rewrite the sectors, from what I remember I think I wound
up doing like 6 rewrites per sector.
