All of these drives had Pii and personal photos. Some of the estate sale drives included pii of children and grandchildren.
They're usually formatted but not wiped, so even recuva was typically able to claw back all of the missing data and restore the whole drive.
Family photos, nudes, sex videos (homemade and professional), downloaded movies, pirated games, I've found them all.
If you're dumping a drive and you don't DBAN it first, other people getting to see your shit is 100% on you.
