and now I can't properly wipe it when I move to new hardware. Some criminal is gonna find this SSD in the garbage dump and retrieve my files and cause me great IRL harm. Thanks, jee. Thanks for nothing!

dude why the FUCK are you using bsd on anything but a server?
theres already so much shit you have to deal with elsewhere, get something that just works out of the box like ubuntu, debian, opensuse or something that isn't for Jow Forums autists.
Zachary James
If you're throwing it out anyway, physically destroy it.
Also, don't throw it out, recycle it.
Elijah Price
Not sure where you got that idea from. Secure ease takes literally seconds.
Jose Sullivan
But I read that it's placebo, it doesn't actually work. That there's nothing you can do to wipe SSDs the way you can HDDs.
Christian Wood
You can't overwrite the drive like a HDD. Secure erase just sends a current to the nand, resetting it. Each manufacturer has their own utility to do it.
Asher Gomez
Does it actually work? It sounds like another Jewish fairytale to me...
Jeremiah Lopez
An idiot without any technical knowledge would think that.
I bet you think your RAM also doesn't really erase when it loses power.
Andrew Clark
From how i understand ssd's work, yes. Correct me if im wrong but ssd's are basically arrays of state circuits and setting all of them to zeroes erases data from all but thr most sci fi if retreaval methods.

just fry it in the microwave oven
