			== Linux ==
			Shred is pretty good because after it writes a pass of random data (the n number is how many times) it then writes zeros that forces the drive to trim and erase the data. and because it's filling the drive from start to finish it doesn't have the ability to ignore blocks leaving old data behind.
			<source lang=bash>
			sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=dev/sd(drive letter)/bigfilename bs =1M
			sudo rm /path/to/mount/point/bigfilename
			or
			sudo shred -fvz -n1 /dev/sd(drive letter)

			Use [https://rufus.ie/ rufus] to create bootable usb. This method eliminates <code>sed</code> fix and seems not causing <code>dban can't open /proc/cmdline</code> error when version v2.2.8 has been used. However I was unable to erase data as DBan was unable to detect my SSD drive saying <code>Error: Disks not found. DBAN could need a driver for this computer</code>
