He is right, there are tools where you can read the drive with a magnetic device, so even a full format and 5 formats, still the data can be read with special hardware

Those tools are useless for hard drives with its "Master Boot Record" all zeroed, ETFbitcoin described his term "full format" like "Zero Fill", so he really meant zero fill.
It's also known as "Low level formatting".

Well, good luck then, you can format your drive 5 times, its still possible to extract info.

You can turn off your computer, I can still recover data from your RAM, yes RAM.

Please read some more on the topic before you spam with nonsense
