Memory products are today used for many purposes in homes and offices. The
storage device inside a memory products records important data belonging
to the user.
When the user disposes of memory products or transfers it to another user,
this important data needs to be erased from the memory products.
Unfortunately, completely erasing the data from memory products is not as
simple as it sounds.
Generally, "erasing data" is assumed to consist of an operation like the following
In reality, however, these operations only change the
file management information pointing to the data stored on the memory products.
The actual data is still present in the media, but is no longer visible to
the user.
In other words, the data appears to have been deleted, but in fact has only been
made inaccessible by a WindowsR or other system. The data itself remains in internal
memory.
As a result, it may be possible using special data recovery software to gain
access to this data. Someone meaning harm may view the data and use it for unintended
purposes.
It is extremely important that the user take responsibility for deleting user's
data when the memory products is disposed of or transferred to another party.
Users should delete user's data completely in order to avoid leaking important
data from memory products. Recommended methods of deletion include use of special
software or outside service (both of which may cost money) to overwrite the data
on the memory products, physically destroying the data using a hammer or the
like.
Note that transferring a storage device to another user without erasing the software
(OS, applications, etc.) stored on it may violate or otherwise affect the software
licensing provisions. It is important to be aware of and observe all such provisions
carefully.
