I understand traditional methods don’t work with modern SSD, anyone knows any good way to do it?
You must log in or register to comment.
You can’t fill the drive. The drive decides when to use its buffered free storage blocks. It’s at the hardware level and only the Secure Erase command will clear it.
You fill up the usable space. Or the visible space. No one will disamble the device and read from the raw storage.
Then why do that when you can do a secure erase in seconds?
Right, I read some more of the comments and realized that’s what some of the “unreported space” is used for. Makes sense, thanks!
