I also agree. Formatting a drive basically deletes the data. Unless you use an erasing utility or zero fill the drive, the only thing removed is the bit of information that points to the files\folders that have been deleted making them appear to be removed from the drive. They are still there but the read\write heads are unable to see them.
I have some spare drives I`ve reformatted countless times for one reason or another from using them for data recovery to experimenting with OS installs and such and they are working fine.
