It takes forever even doing the sequential and I've never actually had it erase data. Maybe I'm not doing something right but yeah, how I would do it if I could fix the miniroot would be to have a /dev/zero type device that can just sequentially blast zeros and then mkfs.
 I'm mostly using older SGIs that you cannot really place a SCA 80 adapter in...so 50-pin, so small.  I agree, I'd not want to wait for a 70GB+ drive to wipe.
