Someone linked me this article a couple calling into question the
ability to actually read overwritten data:

I'de love to read something from the other side, showing real examples
of getting usable data off of a disk that has been overwritten / wiped
/ etc

any links or info?

Not possible on today's drives. In fact, according to NIST, one overwrite with only zeros is sufficient. See The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication 800-88, "Guidelines for Media Sanitation."
