Since I'm returning my NAS, I wanted to permanently delete my personal files off of it. I'm pretty sure simply pressing the delete button won't do it as the data itself is not over-written. Are file shredders actually effective on NAS? I'm currently using the one included in AVG Spyware.

not realy unless you can do full format on nas but that problay best you can do
or overwrite it wish junk -
All I can say is just overwrite it with a massive file, heh, can you just make like say a huge uncompressed video the size of the drive and have that overwrite the whole thing. Other than that, I don't really think there is a successful way of getting rid of something without overwriting it.

The strange thing is, it won't let me reformat. If I try to overwrite the entire drive, it's going to take a long time - (average 6mb/s. 300GB capacity 300*1000/6=50,000 sec = 14hr of continuous transfer!!!). Besides, my notebook's HD is only 100GB

The PGP file shredder should work.
