The need for information security and privacy awareness increases as technology advances and becomes more widely used in everyday life. Information storages such as hard disk drives, CDs, and USB flash memories are commonly used today, yet the majority of the users neglects to be concerned about the privacy of the information they store on these devices. It is important to know how these storage devices operate and how to permanently delete data from them. Disk sanitization plays a major role in ensuring information security and hence it is the focus of this paper.
