Right …
It’s now official …
I have a blank internal hard drive …
Sorry, sorry …
I’m just pleased to have got the thing out of my main machine, into a dock and wiped.
Doing the wipe?
Took some time: as I’d made sure I’d used a setting on
Disk Utility that writes zeroes to the thing.
It takes a while: but it does wipe any evidence!

Something else I’ve used
Disk Utility for?
Is wiping the drive I use for my
Time Machine backups.
Basically?
I got a few blu-rays for Christmas.
And did my usual thing of backing them up to one of the extra drives I use for storage.
Forgetting, in the process, that when the version of
Time Machine on this version of macOS tends to back up everything, including the temporary files created by the various copying processes and filling up my back up drive in the process.
Forgetting what I’d observed in previous years: that turning off
Time Machine in these sort of circumstances, helps.
I’ll learn, one day!
