Quick Format an option for new hard disks?

[Aeronaut]

As i understand the Quick Format option, it won't write random data on every sector, so it's a good idea to only use it when the hard disk contains already random data ....

Question is:
It is a good idea to use Quick Format on a brand-new hard disk and when not, why?

Thank you.

See the section Quick Format in the documentation.

Thanks, i read that before. But my question is still open for my understanding.

As brand new hard disks contains random data, it's noch less secure to use Quick Format?

I would still avoid using Quick Format option on new drives/partitions because the "data" patterns will be different between a new drive and the VeraCrypt encrypted "data" patterns. The documentation explains the scenarios that may matter to you.
