ShredOS is a USB bootable (BIOS or UEFI) small linux distribution with the sole purpose of securely erasing the entire contents of your disks using the program nwipe.
Back when I used to work for others, I would always remove the disk drive and replace it with an identical uet fresh out of the box one and a fresh Windows install. A few hundred dollars and a little work is a small price to pay.
That's not worth the price at all. There is really no risk
Freelancers take about 100$ pee hour where I live. (and thats a low rate, usually it's more)
Whith theoretical possibilities like https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.10192v1 you still have to do multiple passes, which takes hours, even on an NVME.
Even running something like https://par.nsf.gov/servlets/purl/10446654 takes more than an hour.
A new 1TB nvme can be had for 60$ on amazon. Swapping it takes 5 minutes. So unless the client pays for the time, it is not worth it.
I guess you could use any other distro for this that has a live boot, no? Still handy though
