I'm assuming here that you have already moved all your data files to the Trash and emptied the Trash. (level 0-4) is a number indicating the number of passes to write to the free space. ‘freespace’ indicates you are erasing only the free space. If you just want to securely erase the free space (not macOS or applications), you can use the following command in Terminal:ĭiskutil secureErase freespace (level 0-4) /Volumes/(Drive Name) Wireless is fine but starting with WiFi security issues and throw in travel, and installed expensive legacy peripherals and you are marginalizing your systems. Apple needs to consider that well over half of computer use require access to legacy systems and peripherals. Its been three years for my MacBook Pro and I still have to use clumsy, expensive, EXTREMELY annoying adapters to use all -repeat all- my cabled peripherals. Apple's I/O port architectures have always been very paternalistic, trying to force a configuration into common use. 
So in the current times there is no way to get all that in the time frame to use the return label and the I am not thrilled to spend $50+ just to recycle this thing. Sigh, since my current machines don't have Firewire, plus I lost my Firewire cables in the 90's, I would need to get a firewire cable, a Firewire to Thunderbolt adapter ($30) and likely a Thunderbolt cable as the the only one I have is the power cable for the MacBook Pro, (does it carry data?).
