Like REALLY gone man...

At the end of each day of editing, I copy the .fcbundle to a 10 TB, Thunderbolt, 5 Disk raid 0 drive (alternatly to work with/from but mostly) as a simple backup. Copying it takes no time tho it has become 150 GB in size. Once a week I update my Carbon Copy Cloner B/U for the Mac HD onto a USB 3 drive - so I am being as thourough as I want to be.

The issue I have is this - before I copy the beast, I move the one from the day b4 to the trash - then I secure empty the trash since to do otherwise would actually only be "hiding" it in the trash folder. So I secure empty - which takes around 3 hours to complete and causes a process named 'locum" to use 100% of 2 of my cores - again for 3 hours. Which is a drag.

I have been secure emptying since i first started using a mac. I was told & read years ago that to not do so shortens the life of the HDD and will lead to it corupting data as it "secretly" fills up, etc.

I would appreciate any ideas on how to just plain old delete data w/o having to go through this song & dance. I could really care less that it writiing 0s over the data 100 times to Military-NSA standards or whatever, I just want it like really gone man.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance...
