How long does it take to do a 7 pass erase with Disk Utility
Since I couldn't find any solid figures for how long it might take to run the 7 pass erase, I thought I'd feed Google with my findings in the hope that it might help someone else in future.
I ran the 7 pass erase on an 80GB Hard Disk and it took around 4.5-5 hours.
Hope that helps someone.
