This is one of the best tutorials I've ever seen. It was so straight forward. I loved it. Thanks for this great tutorial.

Love the clean and "right to the point" tutorial. No bs and no unnecessary talk about other stuff.

Out of all the videos I've watched on how to format my external hard drive, this has to be the most comprehensive and effective tutorial I've seen thus far. Thank You, your explanation is greatly appreciated!

AMAZING!!! You really provided an amazing solution when everything else was seeming to like it wasn't going to work. I almost gave up until this. You are a legend!

Really great tutorial, I always get stuck with the recovery partitions on redeployed laptop SSDs. You could not have articulated this better. Thank you!

Thanks! Just when I needed to delete, and without rummaging through my notes, your tutorial did the heavy loading, in a fraction of time! Thanks again!!!

after quite a few searches I have to thank you for the best and simplest fix to all of my issues

I tried many ways to delete a recovery partition from an external drive. Your instructions are immediate, short, clear, and above all effective! I do not know how to thank you. Aris.

Brilliant! l have been looking for hours on youtube. I followed your instructions and in 5 minutes my external hard drive is clean and ready to be used. Thanks!

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!

Excellent video, cant stress enough how good this was explained, saved me hours of risking infections, by installing dodgey free software. I was able to clean my 500 gb ssd in seconds. Thank mate your a true ledgend. I subbed too. You taught an old dog a new trick with this video. Thanks!

@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.

YOUR A LIFESAVER... Man you saved me, after an hour looking it up and reading to download a program to do it. I just didnt wanna do that. Then came across your video and it worked perfectly.... Thank you so much..

An excellent video. Clear, concise and very easy to follow. Worked exactly as described. Thanks so much for making this video!

What some may think is a hard task (my self included ) You made it so simple to follow! So clear and cleanly done. Thanks for getting straight to the point. I've subbed :D

Thank you so much man! I've been looking for something like this for 2 days.

Dude, YOU ... DUH ... MAN! i'm a former I/T - PC Tech but forgot a lotta this stuff in the four years i've been retired. This helped me considerably. Thank you.

Straight to the point. Exactly what I was looking for. Got a new sub here !

You made it so simple even an old man like me can understand. I did have to replay certain sections a couple of times I'm not real fast when I type and can't remember what was said. You have a new subscriber thanks again
