Which of the following is the correct procedure to permanently remove data from a hard drive before disposal?
Reformatting the drive
Performing a factory reset
Degaussing
Data sanitization
Data sanitization is the correct procedure for permanently removing data from a hard drive to prevent data breach or recovery by unauthorized individuals. Degaussing might not be effective on solid-state drives (SSDs), and reformatting does not necessarily remove all data. A factory reset is typically insufficient for guaranteeing the permanent removal of data.
