Follow up is even more interesting than epilogue, especially: "Another problem with the article is the fact that a magnetic force microscope, which is a scanning probe microscope, is nothing like an electron microscope, and yet the article repeatedly refers to using an electron microscope to try and recover data (the same mistake has also been pointed out by others). So saying "the chances of recovery of any amount of data from a drive using an electron microscope are negligible" is quite true, in the same way that saying "the chances of recovery of any amount of data from a drive using an optical microscope are negligible" is true" And DiskStroyer kit made me chuckle. If I comprehend it correctly, that doesn't make Gutmann method obsolete in principle, it only means that those passes were tailored at (various) old technology, and on modern drives could be bit overkill and just as good as random scrubs. That's still makes a robust procedure, even If overkill and dated (which isn't exactly bad thing).
