I have been watching Britec youtube videos and had a question about a new set of commands I picked up from your video.

It was a video on how to erase a drive.
My question is when using the powershell command "Get-Disk 0 | Clear-Disk -RemoveData" will this command have the same effect as using the Diskpart command "clean" ? Just wondering...

That would be hard to say without a test. Clean command will erase all the data, but its possible to recover some data.
Clear Disk will erase the drive also and both take a long time to complete. If I had to guess I would say Clear-Disk is better.
