    @Northern Viking Everyday I'm 70. I wish I had found your video 7 days ago. I have downloaded about 5 pieces of software trying to get 6 - 4 TB HDD's wiped and reformatted from were I was sending recorded shows from a Dish Hopper 3 to them. I had them pick-up their equipment 4 days ago. I'm disabled, that's why they came to me. I thought I knew a lot on computers since I first used a Tandy TRS-80 Micro Computer System. You are probably one of the top 4 people / person that explains things to were even a old an can understand it. I love the way you go slow and show each step. I did my last 4TB HDD just like you showed and within just minutes it accomplished what the others took about 14 hours each just writing zeros to them and having to do it that way. I have subscribed to your channel. Please keep up these great videos.

    Great information, simple and to the point. I also like how you showed us how to verify that we were on the correct partition before it was deleted. About the only way it could have been any simpler would be for you to be at our computer and show us the steps in person!

    June 25, 2022 - This is a GREAT video. The host gets right to the point, and explains each step clearly and carefully. While he wants to build a following for his videos, he sticks to business without any extra chat. I wish there were a way that I could help people avoid the other lengthy and confusing videos on the same topic. I am going to post this link with my review of the SanDisk SSDs I purchased through Amazon if they let me. One thing that the host doesn't mention, is that in Windows 10 (AND Windows 11?), you MUST select GPT, in stead of MBR when given the option if you are formatting a drive larger than 2 TB. I hope the host will add that to a future version of this video.

      @@NorthernVikingEveryday June 25, 2022 - You are most welcome sir. Credit where credit is due👍👍. I look forward to viewing your other video tutorials as time permits. As promised, I did include the link to this video in my review of the two hard drives I purchased from Amazon. You might want to consider finding a way to have some of your videos posted along with product reviews on the Amazon product pages. I’m no newbie, but I bought spinning disk hard drives when I actually wanted SSD external drives. In any event, thank you for letting me know that you saw, and liked my comments. I assume back in 2020 hard drives of over 2 Terabytes weren’t very common. Which probably explains why you didn’t discuss it. As the Trekkies say, “Live long and prosper, sir.🖖 ”😊
