Standard formatting is the quickest method to reprovision hard drives for reuse. Unlike low-level wiping, which overwrites the entire drive with zeros or random data and takes a significant amount of time, standard formatting removes the file system and directory information without fully erasing the data. This makes the drive ready for reuse much more quickly.
A company wants to [quickly] re provision the drives for reuse then we use standard format because it's quicker than Low-level-Format
Its C, it says low level WIPING not low level formatting.
What Is Low-Level Format (LLF)? LLF (Low-level Format) of the hard drive is also known as “zero-filled” since it erases all the data from the storage and would replace it with zero-state bits. It will reset the state and the content of your hard disk by restoring it to its initial/factory state
Low-level wiping is a process that overwrites the entire hard drive with zeros or random data, making it impossible to recover any data from the drive. This method is more secure than standard formatting or deleting, which only remove the file system and directory information, leaving the data intact and recoverable using specialized software. For 1 TB drive it takes 2 hours 47 minutes.
Answer is B-standard formatting, as they need to be reprovisioned quickly. low level formatting will overwrite the disks with individual bits, zeroing it out. takes a while
based on what professor messer said, "low-level" formatting/wiping happens at a factory. standard formatting should work. yes technically it could mean quick or regular but its more likely than all the others.
B just said standard formatting. didn't exactly said is it quick format or regular format. so I will go with C
Keyword - Quickly. Standard is quickest.
Standard formatting is faster since the question imply on being quick. https://www.easeus.com/partition-master/high-level-format-vs-low-level-format.html
