What is the estimated time for erasing unused space on a 140 GB drive and using the Guttman technique :?:

So could the "Guttman" take as long as days or weeks

How large of a hard drive. Would 140 GB count

1-1/2 DAYS [you read that correctly "DAYS"] and it's only about 55% complete. USB 2.0 External 1-TB drive being cleared. Default settings used. Does this sound right? Is there a better way?
Also I did an USB 2.0 External 100-GB drive three times and it kept coming back "Completed with Errors". No explanation what the errors were.
Crazy making for sure.
Additionally, I want to make sure the drives are clean when finished. I work in the medical industy in Los Angeles / Hollywood, and have some patient data on these drives that I'm required to keep private U.S. "HIPAA Laws". And several of the patients are celebrities, so I want to be certain their info is not recoverable.
Thanks in advance for your help!
