Cómo conseguir el "borrar" de la función de Utilidad de Disco en El Capitan & Sierra

Ambos Allan y Klanomath proporcionar el mejor consejo sobre cómo hacerlo a través de Terminal. Sin embargo, si usted está queriendo hacer esto con un disco duro (y no un SSD), la opción es que todavía hay en la Utilidad de Discos, aunque también ha cambiado.

Siga estos pasos:

1. Seleccione la unidad de disco duro (no SSD) en la barra lateral
2. Haga clic en el botón Borrar
3. Haga clic en Opciones de Seguridad
4. Seleccione el nivel de borrado seguro en la siguiente ventana, moviendo el control deslizante. Usted encontrará que hay una opción al azar a la escritura de datos seguido por un único paso de ceros en toda la unidad.

Espero que esto ayude.

El insegura/borrado seguro es sólo accesible a través de la Terminal de > diskutil zeroDisk|randomDisk|secureErase device.

man diskutil ayuda:

zeroDisk [force] device
            Erase a device, writing zeros to the media.  The device can be a whole-disk or a partition.  In either
            case, in order to be useful again, zero'd whole-disks will need to be (re)partitioned, or zero'd parti-
            tions will need to be (re)formatted with a file system, e.g. by using the partitionDisk, eraseDisk, or
            eraseVolume verbs.  If you desire a more sophisticated erase algorithm or if you need to erase only
            free space not in use for files, use the secureErase verb.  The force parameter causes best-effort,
            non-error-terminating, forced unmounts and shared-mode writes to be attempted; however, this is still
            no guarantee against drivers which claim the disk exclusively. In such cases, you may have to first
            unmount all overlying logical volumes (e.g. CoreStorage or AppleRAID), or, if a disk is partially dam-
            aged in just the wrong way, even un-install a kext or erase the disk elsewhere.  Ownership of the
            affected disk is required.

 randomDisk [times] device
            Erase a whole disk, writing random data to the media.  Times is the optional (defaults to 1) number of
            times to write random information.  The device can be a whole-disk or a partition.  In either case, in
            order to be useful again, randomized whole-disks will need to be (re)partitioned, or randomized parti-
            tions will need to be (re)formatted with a file system, e.g. by using the partitionDisk or eraseDisk
            verbs.  If you desire a more sophisticated erase algorithm or if you need to erase only free space not
            in use for files, use the secureErase verb.  Ownership of the affected disk is required.

 secureErase [freespace] level device
            Erase, using a secure method, either a whole-disk (including any and all partitions), or, only the free
            space (not in use for files) on a currently-mounted volume.  Erasing a whole-disk will leave it useless
            until it is partitioned again.  Erasing freespace on a volume will leave it exactly as it was from an
            end-user perspective, with the exception that it will not be possible to recover deleted files or data
            using utility software.  If you need to erase all contents of a partition but not its hosting whole-
            disk, use the zeroDisk or randomDisk verbs.  Ownership of the affected disk is required.

            Level should be one of the following:

                  o   0 - Single-pass zero-fill erase.

                  o   1 - Single-pass random-fill erase.

                  o   2 - US DoD 7-pass secure erase.

                  o   3 - Gutmann algorithm 35-pass secure erase.

                  o   4 - US DoE algorithm 3-pass secure erase.
