Agencies can read areas of disks after it has been rewritten several times. Apparently there are tell-tale traces when using the right equipment. They don't use the drive heads or mechanisms, but take the platters out and put them into some contracption like an electron tunneling microscope. I think it was called SQUID, and costs a fortune.
I personally use a hammer, but I don't have to worry about 100s of machines. Although that sounds like fun. There's something nice about taking a drive out and bashing it!
