Erasing encrypted Intel Mac
I have an older (2011) Intel iMac with encrypted HD that I am preparing to recycle.
My aim is just to do a thorough wipe of the HD but should I turn off encryption first? FileVault is telling me this will take many hours. Since this will be recycled, is there any reason to turn off?
Thanks.
iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.13
