now that is true but doing a dod3 pass per the army standard would make it to much of a time killer, 95% (I would think) would move onto easier/faster drives to decode. Only drives we take that far are hospitals, schools, government but they are paying for that 7pass run on the drives and its not a small fee.....I have had only one company that did not fall into one of those groups request a dod 7 pass but its something we offer but its costly due to the time it takes.
