'I just bought your Hard Drive'
  "HD SCRUB" is perhaps the safest and most assured way to permanently remove information from a hard drive without damaging the drive. YBC utilizes a forensic “HD SCRUB” pro-cedure specifically designed to over write computer hard drives in a manner that meets the D.O.D. over write standards. It utilizes a layered method of overwriting data using a sequence of nulls (Binary O’s) randomly generated characters, alternating characters, or user definable fixed characters in any sequence.  HD Scrub overwrites every sector and every cluster, down to every byte of information on the hard drive. 
The forensic HD SCRUB process captures the make, model and serial number of each drive scrubbed.  This method of overwriting information is far superior to an FDISK or FORMAT process.  The FDISK procedure resets the hard drive’s partition table.  Every FDISK is followed by a FORMAT.  FORMAT re-writes the File Allocation Table.  The File Allocation Table is a map that contains the location and name of data stored in a  sector.  (Sectors are areas within tracks that hold 512 bytes of data.  Tracks are concentric magnetic grooves that the read/write head of the hard drive creates during a FORMAT) When an FDISK or FORMAT is done the address (File Allocation Table) of the information on the hard drive is removed, not the actual information.  HD Scrub actually overwrites the information.  If the original information is overwritten there is no place left for it to exist.  As an extra measure of security, HD Scrub will allow for as many as 999 overwrites and it also reports bad sectors and what type of information resides in a bad sector:

*Note: To permanently erase data following the DOD 5220.22-M 3-pass standard on a 20GB Hard Drive requires approximately 2-3 hours.

Physical Destruction:
Drives that cannot be securely scrubbed of data due to malfunctioning controllers or bad hard drives go through TMC's degaussing and shredding process, TMC a sister company to YBC, that provides numerous service solutions to meet the data security, document and media destruction needs of corporate America. Data is not overwritten or erased; Data is either demagnetized or shredded. These processes are performed on ALL drives that no longer work. The remains are recycled following all State, Local, and Federal guidelines. A certificate is issued to YBC clients for all recycled products.
