That was basically the workflow. On smaller drives you could do one when you get in, one at lunch and one before you left. Eventually drives got large enough that it was just once in the morning and once before leaving.
I’ll overdo it.
Half the contracts you didn’t know if they wanted the short wipes or long wipes. So you just do long wipes to cover your ass. It’s not like there was a rush, it was a simply menial task that became a second nature set of bashing the keyboard. Like typing some of my passwords and pins… I have no fucking clue what they are anymore… but put in front of the keyboard and I can type them by muscle memory.
I didn’t do this all that much for a job, but I did work in IT tech support for a couple years and helped out w/ some decommissioning in a dev role, and I would usually put it on a higher setting. Why? Idk, why not? Best case scenario, I prevent a scandal from some really motivated attacker, worst case, I check on it and it’s not quite done, so I check on it later.

Yup.
