Remember when everyone was like "you have to secure erase your drives / overwrite with random data multiple times with some NIST standard or your data can still be recovered"?
Did anyone ever witness this actually happen: successful data recovery from a drive that was overwritten only once ?
I feel like this is only a plausible scenario for some very very old HDDs
