And that IF head positioning is so difficult then there’s a chance that indeed some of the previous data may survive while other parts are actually overwritten. My common sense tells me that IF exact head positioning is so difficult, then reading exactly those latent tracks is very difficult. so new data (the zeros) may be written slightly off-track compared to the original data that can thus be recovered. Idea is that the positioning from read/write heads is not exact. The claim that those can magically ‘read’ and reconstruct data from ‘latent magnetic residue’ (I am not making this up, others did) using special machines and whatnot. Okay, this is another one that annoys me: The claim, the myth that certain three letter agencies can recover data from erased or zero filled hard drives.
