1.) Information about the formatting differences!

Formatting (normal formatting):



With the normal formatting of the hard disk or data carrier, the file system is rewritten, which leads to a conditional deletion of the files. In addition, the sectors are checked for bad sectors.

Quick format (QuickFormat):



The quick format removes all files from the disk, but does not check the disk for bad sectors. This option should only be used if the hard drive (data carrier) has never been formatted normally and you are sure that the data carrier is not damaged.

However, formatting does not lead to 100% deletion of the data; these can be restored with various software, regardless of whether it was a quick format or normal formatting.
